Project:
Eastern Brook Trout Restoration in Pig Pen Branch and Lick Log Creek, Oconee County, South Carolina
The objective of this project was to restore a reproducing Eastern Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis population in Pig Pen Branch and Lick Log Creek. Eastern Brook Trout are listed as a species of Moderate Priority in the South Carolina’s State Wildlife Action Plan (South Carolina Department of Natural Resources 2015), but has been elevated to High Priority in the 2024 revision, which is in progress. The project also sought to produce secondary benefits toward developing status information and guide future management of other State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) species within the immediate project area and downstream, such as the Chauga Crayfish Cambarus chauganensis.
