The Ecological Network Assessment aims to
identify the most important remaining habitats
in the Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Delaware, and D.C. portions of the
Bay V\fotershed. The assessment applies a
"hubs and corridors" approach, which is based
on principles of landscape ecology and
conservation biology, that suggest that size and
connectivity are critical factors of high integrity habitat,
