- Conservation Challenge — by Jean Brennan — last modified Jul 18, 2016 09:43 AM
- Water withdrawals from human activities can alter surface water resources and impact aquatic habitats and organisms. The most commonly studied sources of flow alterations are typically dams and water withdrawals associated with agricultural operations and industrial uses. However, the emergence of hydraulic fracturing has led to the rapid expansion of natural gas drilling and has made it a key source in altering surface water resources in the Marcellus Shale region.

- Data Access — by Jean Brennan — last modified Jun 21, 2016 10:22 AM
- Phase I of this project involved an inventory of flow models and the underlying, or potential, data sources from instream monitoring networks.
- Key Findings & Management Recommendations — by Jean Brennan — last modified Jun 21, 2016 10:22 AM
- The Appalachian LCC-funded study is the first region-wide assessment to document “flow-ecology” relationships – showing connections between observed impacts under current water withdrawal standards (based on daily water gauge data collected over the last 15 years and fish surveys) and the decline in freshwater fish communities.

- Removal of Illegally Introduced and Missed Rainbow Trout from Lynn Camp Prong, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee — by Admin — last modified Apr 07, 2016 02:35 PM
- This project will remove the illegally introduced and missed rainbow trout from the Lynn Camp Prong Watershed in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Once complete, the project will reconnect brook trout populations in three tributary streams thus eliminating fragmentation in this watershed.

- Guidelines for Using the NatureServe Climate Change Vulnerability Index — by Lesley Sneddon — last modified Mar 10, 2016 12:26 PM
- Motivated by the need to rapidly assess the vulnerability of species to climate change, NatureServe developed a Climate Change Vulnerability Index. The Index uses a scoring system that integrates a species’ predicted exposure to climate change within an area and three sets of factors associated with climate change sensitivity, each supported by published studies: 1) indirect exposure to climate change, 2) species-specific sensitivity and adaptive capacity factors and 3) documented response to climate change. Our primary goal for the Index is to provide valuable input for key planning documents, such as revisions of state wildlife action plans, to allow consideration of climate change impacts together with other stressors. We also hope this tool will help land managers develop and prioritize strategies for climate change adaptation that lead to actions that increase the resilience of species to climate change.
