Partnership!
This is what the National Fish Habitat Action Plan is all about — locally-driven efforts that build private and public partnerships to improve fish habitat.
Fish Habitat Action Plan partnerships are self-identified, self-organized, and self-directed communities of interest formed around geographic areas, keystone species, or system types.
The National Fish Habitat Action Plan is:
- Non-regulatory and voluntary
- Locally and regionally based, driven by grassroots partners
- Focused on protection, restoration and enhancement in key watersheds
- Science based
- Linked nationally
- Sustainable and accountable

Waters to watch
These 10 Waters to Watch bring together community groups, non-profit organizations, local watershed groups, Native American tribes and state and federal agencies to plant stream-side vegetation, remove structures blocking fish from accessing habitat and protect rivers from the effects of agriculture runoff. The idea is to provide clean water and robust, healthy habitats for the many fish and wildlife species and people who call these areas home.

It is in conjunction with projects from years past; as you can see in the map below upon completion of the 2009 planned project there will be a continuous stretch of approximately three and a half miles of restoration.
