Prioritize Actions Protect greatly reduced stream populations from extirpation Protect moderately reduced stream populations from further degradation Restore populations to streams or watersheds where they are absent or extirpated Work to extend existing strong populations downstream into larger river habitats Protect lake/pond populations (where applicable) Assess or monitor streams and watersheds where brook trout data is insufficient or nonexistent Increase the number of biologists on staff to implement regulations, monitoring and management Educate public and decision-makers about the current status of brook trout in your or jurisdiction and the threats they face Other (please specify) -

State Priority Actions 1.Protect greatly reduced populations from extirpation 2.Protect moderately reduced populations from further degradation (tie) 3.Assess or monitor streams and watersheds where data is insufficient (tie) 4.Restore populations to streams or watersheds where they are absent or extirpated (tie) 5.Increase the number of staff biologists (tie)

Federal Priority Actions 1.Protect greatly reduced populations from extirpation 2.Restore populations to streams or watersheds where they are absent or extirpated 3.Educate public and decision-makers about current status of brook trout in their jurisdiction and the threats they face 4.Protect moderately reduced populations from further degradation 5.Assess or monitor streams and watersheds where data is insufficient
