EBTJV Funding Opportunities
-
2022 Projects
-
The National Fish Habitat Partnership, with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, funded $172,598 across four on-the ground projects. These projects bring an additional $815,726 in partner contributions for a partner:NFHAP ratio of 4.7:1. The projects will remove 3 barriers, reconnect 28 upstream miles, and improve 0.4 miles of stream. January 2023 update: the Narraguagus project has been completed, and the Blue Lick Run culvert has been replaced with a fish friendly span; demonstration tours are being planned.

Culvert Replacement, Blue Lick Run Tributary, Avilton, MD
-
The project restored connectivity within the Savage watershed, Maryland’s
best EBT resource, improving fish passage to largely forested upstream habitat.
Connectivity will increase population resilience and genetic diversity by
providing access to cold water refugia during low flow periods and increasing
foraging and spawning habitat availability.

Restoring Brook Trout in the Bald Mountains of Tennessee
-
Native brook trout (NBT) are currently present in two of the three major drainages in the project area, Wolf Creek and Gulf Fork These two drainages both have a unique strain of NBT only found in the French Broad Watershed. The third drainage, Trail Fork, historically had NBT present. This population was extirpated and replaced with non-native rainbow trout. To address threats to NBT in the Bald Mountains, Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency (TWRA), Cherokee National Forest (CNF), Trout Unlimited, and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched a subwatershed-scale project with four distinct objectives. This EBTJV project is the fourth part: 4. Replacing a double culvert crossing on FSR96 over Wolf Creek to improve fish passage and reduce the threat of failure.
