Fish Conservation

According to recent studies, the nation has lost 20 percent of our fish and aquatic populations and nearly 40 percent of the nation's native fish populations are in rapid decline. In 2006 the Foundation launched the More Fish Campaign to help restore abundant and healthy populations of fish and aquatic species to our nation’s waters. Our investments include:

More Fish Partnership Fund

Established this fall, the fund provides $500,000 in grants to help mobilize conservationists, anglers and volunteers to participate in local fish habitat conservation and restoration and to address critical losses in fish populations.

Table Rock Lake Conservation Program

Working with our corporate and public agency partners, the Foundation is funding habitat restoration projects in one of the premier bass fishing locations in the nation.

Bring Back the Natives 

For fifteen years, the Foundation and its partners have leveraged several million dollars annually for the conservation and restoration of habitat for native species including eastern brook trout, western cutthroat trout, steelhead, bull trout, redband trout, Apache trout, and steelhead trout.

Salmon Conservation

Through investments in grassroots initiatives from Maine to the Pacific coast , the Foundation is supporting the conservation of Atlantic, Chinook, sockeye and coho salmon populations and restoration of key spawning habitat and migratory routes.
