This Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657) provides $234,256 in funding to Conservation Fisheries, Inc. (CFI) to implement a 3-year demonstration project. The project aims to transition priority endangered fish propagation and reintroduction activities from CFI to National Fish Hatcheries (NFHs) in the Southeast region. This will increase the capacity of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state partners to recover and restore native aquatic species, including the bluemask darter, boulder darter, duskytail darter, leopard darter, pearl darter, peppered shiner, and spotfin chub. Key activities include transferring knowledge and skills from CFI to the NFHs, expanding programmatic capabilities to meet existing and future needs, and advancing the recovery trajectories for the target species through propagation, reintroduction, and population monitoring. Deliverables over the 3-year project period include broodstock collection, captive propagation, reintroduction efforts, and the establishment of a multi-state Section 6 rare fish recovery program at CFI.
