Beginning in Fall of 2026, the NAACC will be merging into a national program under the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP). The NAACC will become the National Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NACC) and encompass field data collection at crossings, dams, and waterfalls, as well as the National Aquatic Barrier Inventory and Prioritization Tool, all available at aquaticbarriers.org. Once the national program is in place, you will be able to go to aquaticbarrier.org to find a new online training platform (replacing OWL), a new NACC data center, and updated data collection applications.
