HABITAT COMPOSITION

Preliminary analysis of habitat composition were based on habitat typing made
subjectively during field surveying, not on results of hydraulic modeling that quantified
surface area of habitat type possessing combinations of depth and velocity attributes.
The quantification of habitat types is still in process and will be presented in next years'
progress report.
