About the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture
Greetings on behalf of the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture Partnership Steering Committee.
A diverse group of partners, including state fish and wildlife agencies, federal resource agencies,
academic institutions and private sector conservation organizations are working to conserve Eastern
brook trout and their habitats. Established as the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (EBTJV), this
Fish Habitat Partnership has already produced a range-wide population assessment of brook trout;
completed extensive work that identifies key threats to brook trout and their habitats; and developed
conservation strategies to protect, enhance and restore brook trout.
To support these collaborative efforts, the EBTJV Steering Committee has adopted a formal Management
Structure and all active partners have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU affirms a
voluntary commitment to participate in this Fish Habitat Partnership. Continued expansion of the
partnership will allow the EBTJV to represent all interested partners in advancing the partnership’s
strategic priorities. If your organization would like to become a formal member of the EBTJV, please
print the MOU and have it signed by the appropriate representative of your organization. An original
copy of the completed signature page should be mailed to the Steering Committee in care of Lila Borge
Wills at the Conservation Management Institute. Mailing information can be found on the document.
