Booklets

  • "Eastern Brook Trout: Status and Threats" - Produced by the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture, this is the first comprehensive assessment of the status of brook trout in the Eastern United States. The Joint Venture was initiated in 2002 as a pilot program of the National Fish Habitat Initiative. Participants include fish and wildlife agencies from 17 states, federal partners, conservation organizations such as Trout Unlimited and academic institutions. The results of this assessment will be used to develop state-by-state strategies for brook trout conservation and recovery. A Massachusetts booklet is available from MassWildlife's Westborough office. The full report, as well as state-specific data and maps, are available at www.brookie.org.
