The National Fish Habitat Partnership (fishhabitat.org) has unveiled its list of 10 Waters to Watch list for 2014, a collection of rivers, streams, estuaries, lakes and watershed systems that will benefit from strategic conservation efforts to protect, restore or enhance their current condition. These waters represent a detailed snapshot of this years locally driven voluntary habitat conservation efforts in progress implemented under the National Fish Habitat Partnership by 19 regional Fish Habitat Partnerships throughout the country. The objective of these projects—to conserve freshwater, estuarine and marine habitats essential to the many fish and wildlife species that call these areas home—is the foundation of the National Fish Habitat Partnership. Throughout the year these projects will demonstrate how conservation efforts are turning around persistent declines in our nations aquatic habitats. Having featured 80 partnership projects since 2007, these Waters to Watch are proving that on-the-ground conservation activities and science-based strategies are truly making a difference in improving fish habitat.
