Story The Southeast is Perfect for the Aquatic Connectivity Framework
by Brian Rhodes published Dec 06, 2024 last modified Jun 04, 2025 11:31 PM — filed under: , , ,
The Southeastern United States is an absolute gem in terms of freshwater diversity. The rivers and streams here are bursting with life, making this region one of the country's most biodiverse places for freshwater species. The Southeast is home to around 600 freshwater fish species, 500 of which are endemic. This region is a global hotspot for freshwater biodiversity, making the Aquatic Connectivity Framework (ACF) an excellent fit for the Southeast. We aim to protect and restore these incredible aquatic habitats through a landscape-scale Working Lands for Wildlife approach.

Story application/x-troff-ms Addressing Sedimentation Threats
by Rosanne Hessmiller published Dec 02, 2024 last modified Jun 04, 2025 11:33 PM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Rivers and streams are the lifeblood of our environment, home to a stunning array of wildlife, from fish and amphibians to the aquatic insects that form the foundation of the food chain. However, these ecosystems are under growing threat from sedimentation and siltation. When excess soil and fine particles wash into waterways, they cloud the water, smother habitats, and disrupt the delicate balance that sustains aquatic life. The consequences ripple throughout the food chain, from the tiniest insects to the largest fish, threatening sensitive species like the Eastern hellbender and endangering fisheries.

Hellbender Proposed for Endangered Species Act Protection: A Call to Action for Aquatic Conservation
by Brian Rhodes published Dec 16, 2024 last modified Dec 16, 2024 10:01 AM — filed under: , , , ,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has proposed to protect the Eastern Hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. This proposal addresses the dramatic decline in Hellbender populations due to habitat loss, water pollution, and other factors. The proposal builds on years of collaborative conservation work and scientific study, highlighting the need to safeguard this species to maintain the health of freshwater ecosystems. This proposed rule would extend protection to hellbenders across their range, from New York to Georgia.
