National Aquatic Barrier Inventory & Prioritization Tool
-
The objective of this inventory and tool is to build a community of practice among resource managers and enable them to identify high priority aquatic connectivity restoration projects. Regularly updating barriers in this inventory allows it to better reflect the degree of aquatic habitat fragmentation from aquatic barriers across political boundaries at a national scale. We provide a collaborative atmosphere where all resource managers can contribute to the collective effort of restoring rivers and streams through aquatic barrier removal.

EBTJV Habitat News May 2025

The EBTJV is excited to welcome the Tennessee Aquarium as our newest MOU member, bringing us to 39
MOU partners. We share an interview with Stephanie Chance about the Conservation Institute’s response to a
2024 drought event, their recovery efforts for Laurel Dace and Brook Trout, and more.
Here for the research links? In addition to news clips, we’ve compiled a (definitely not exhaustive) list of
publications through mid-2024 related to Brook Trout population dynamics and distribution, genetics and
hatchery influence, ecological interactions, and pollution and environmental impacts.
Speaking of research, please join us in congratulating Vermont’s Jud Kratzer for his recent award on behalf of Vermont FWD for research on wood additions to northern VT streams. Every time we speak to Jud we learn a little more about this technique and its benefits to not just Brook Trout, but also fluvial function and ecosystem health. VFWD’s recent work, in partnership with TU, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Weyerhaeuser Corporation, demonstrated how wood addition traps sediment and reduces sediment and nutrient loads
downstream.
