Fish Passage Data Standard Version 2.0

This information bulletin announces the availability of and describes the recent updates to the Fish Passage Data Standard Data Standard Version 2. This data standard was previously released under the name Fish Passage Barriers.

In addition to basic information about barriers, the dataset provides general passage status.

• Reformatted document to meet Section 508 standards and match the latest data standard template.
• Change name from Fish Passage Barriers to Fish Passage.
• Changed document cover photo.
• Updated FOIA category, keywords, and subject function codes.

• Section 3.2 to adjust text about managing attachments.
• Added default values for required fields.
• Modified edit tracking field names to match current ODF conventions.
• Adjusted domain names to better reflect ODF conventions.
• Added Appendix B to document fields that are visible for data entry.
