Stream temperature is a primary control on the distribution and abundance of fishes and other aquatic organisms.  After all, most are aware that Maine’s iconic salmonid fishes, such as wild Brook Trout, have a close affinity with waters that stay cool year-round.  Hence, having a good understanding of where coldwater resources are and how these patterns may change in the future is something rather important for maintaining habitat for our native fishes, wildlife and their habitats.
