17 States Join to Restore Eastern Brook Trout

The Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture is combining the efforts of universities, conservationists, state agencies and scientists who want to identify and end threats to native brook trout in the U.S. You can read about it in detail on the Trout Unlimited Web site. “The strategy identifies a set of aggressive range-wide and regional targets, including the protection of highest quality habitat, improvements to 30 percent of the impacted brook trout watersheds and reintroduction of brook trout to 10 percent of the watersheds where they have disappeared.” Scott Parrott in the Hendersonville [North Carolina] News.
