Official summary from the FWS Fish Passage Summit
-
Please find attached the workshop proceedings from Partner Workshop: Fish Passage through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that took place at the National Conservation and Training Center from July 18-20. The document includes the following:
Overview of each of the sessions and speakers on Day One and summary of post session discussion.
Detailed brainstorming from all the breakout sessions on Day Two
Synthesis and discussion from Day Three
Meeting Agenda
List of Attendees (in person and virtual)
These are not decisional documents, rather a synthesis of information, ideas, and perspectives. We hope it will serve as a reference document to support all our efforts into the future.

North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative
-
The North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC) is a network of individuals from universities, conservation organizations, and state and federal natural resource and transportation departments focused on improving aquatic connectivity across a thirteen- state region, from Maine to West Virginia. The NAACC has developed common protocols and training for assessing road-stream crossings (culverts and bridges) and developed a regional database for this field data. The information collected is then used to identify high priority bridges and culverts for upgrade and replacement. The tool supports planning and decision-making by providing information about where restoration projects are likely to bring the greatest improvements in aquatic connectivity and has a subwatershed prioritization map to help focus survey efforts in the project area, as well as a customizable prioritization component for use with ArcGIS Desktop. NAACC partners have also compiled resources, tools, and best practices from organizations around the country covering a wide range of topics related to addressing aquatic connectivity.

2016 Patch map
-
Allopatric and Sympatric brook trout patches. A “patch” is defined as a group of contiguous catchments occupied by wild trout (Hudy et. al. 2013). Patches are not connected physically (i.e., they are separated by a dam, unoccupied warm water habitat, downstream invasive species, etc.) and are generally assumed to be genetically isolated.Allopatric refers to eastern brook trout only in a catchment. Sympatric refers to brook trout co-residing and competing with brown and rainbow trout.Note: are you looking for all of EBTJV's interactive patch and catchment layers, and the GIS data to download?

Georgia Stream Crossing Handbook
-
This handbook is intended to encourage the proper design and implementation of all new stream crossings in Georgia to maintain stream connectivity, improve stream health, provide for public safety, improve water quality, and make communities more resilient. Originally published in 2012, this 2021 update represents the work of 18 authors drawn from State and Federal Agencies, NGOs, academia, and private firms.

Restoration of brook trout across their native range using fish toxicants and electrofishing: are we successful ecologically and socially?
-
PDF of PowerPoint presentation by Matt Kulp, fishery biologist with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and coauthors, reviewing historic and contemporary restoration efforts to restore brook trout using toxicants and electrofishing. Matt surveyed state and agency biologists about projects to remove invasive species and replace brook trout. This presentation and associated database describe the outcomes and factors in success and failures.

Development of Genetic Baseline Information to Support the Conservation and Management of Wild Brook Trout in North Carolina
-
Kazyak, D.C., Lubinski, B.A., Rash, J.M., Johnson, T.C., King, T.L. 2021. After centuries of declines, there is growing interest in conserving extant wild populations of Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis and reintroducing Brook Trout populations of native ancestry. A population genetic baseline can enhance conservation outcomes and promote restoration success. Consequently, it is important to document existing patterns of genetic variation across the landscape and translate these data into an approachable format for fisheries managers. We genotyped 9,507 Brook Trout representing 467 wild collections at 12 microsatellite loci to establish a genetic baseline for North Carolina, USA.
