In 2005 the FWCP:CB undertook this project to update our understanding of the impacts of the dams, to support ongoing strategic and program planning, to assist in prioritization of compensation options, and to facilitate reporting the progress of addressing impacts.

Audience:  Government and Public
The project is composed of five broad elements: 1) mapping of basic aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems within the dam footprints; 2) assessing changes in primary productivity; 3) assessing changes to aquatic and terrestrial habitats; 4) assessing impacts on individual fish and wildlife species; and 5) the identification of compensation options. This report is a summary of thirteen previous reports that document individual components of the five elements.
