EBTJV Conservation Strategy (2011)
-
This report summarizes the range-wide, regional, and state-level goals, objectives, and strategies designed to achieve the overall principle goals of the EBTJV. This report also focuses on strategic planning to develop partnerships and secure funding to ensure the continuation of the EBTJV. In addition, individual state conservation strategies are presented, which demonstrate the commitment of all EBTJV partners and focus range-wide goals and objectives down to the state and local levels. Together, the components of this working document represent the framework necessary to begin the conservation of brook trout in the eastern United States.

Eastern Brook Trout: Status and Threats (2006)
-
This technical report identifies where wild brook trout populations remain strong, where they are struggling and
where they have vanished. Most importantly, it provides state
and federal agencies, anglers and community leaders with the
tools to identify local rivers and streams that are priorities
for protection and restoration. Partners in the Eastern
Brook Trout Joint Venture are using the technical report and
ongoing analyses to develop a comprehensive strategy for state
and the federal agencies to protect and restore brook trout on
regional and range-wide scales. This will involve advancing
data collection, promoting policies necessary for success, and
establishing on-the-ground projects to protect and restore
brook trout habitat and populations. The data included in the
technical report also will serve as a baseline for tracking and
measuring the success of protection and restoration efforts
over time. This first-of-its-kind assessment paints a
comprehensive picture of the condition of brook trout
populations across their native range from Ohio to Maine
to Georgia. The technical report categorizes a variety of
threats to brook trout and their habitat and helps to identify
restoration and protection priorities. Using satellite imagery
and statistical analysis, the report predicts the status of brook
trout in areas that lack population data and identifies different
levels of environmental stress that brook trout are able to
tolerate before they are likely to disappear.
