Fish creek preservation

Article Abstract:

An innovative program in partnership with public and private agencies to protect rare and endangered species present in Fish Creek, Indiana, has been developed by The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Fish Creek is home to 43 species of fishes, and 31 species of fresh water mussels including 3 endangered ones. But it is threatened by pollution from land uses within its water reserve. Primary threats identified are those that degrade the water quality, water quantity, soil erosion, and habitat structure. Reforestation to improve the aquatic habitat has been undertaken as part of the program.

Dexter National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center

Article Abstract:

Dexter National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center, located in southeastern New Mexico, currently holds 15 listed fish species from nine different states. Most of the species are imperiled in the wild, sometimes because of competition from introduced nonnative species. Dexter liaises with state, federal and international agencies to conserve fish species such as the razorback sucker and the Colorado squawfish.
