The Western Native Trout Initiative (WNTI) represents the first time relevant agencies, organizations, and private interests have come together to address challenges to western native trout. WNTI makes a unified commitment to improving management and increasing public awareness of and support for the conservation needs of these imperiled species. One of its most significant recent accomplishments was the development of A Plan for Strategic Action, which establishes strategic goals, objectives and actions, and an approach that includes increased coordination, action, and accountability needed to ensure the long-term viability of important Western trout species.

This shapefile is the official boundary of the Western Native Trout Initiative. The boundary was originally developed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and was updated in 2013 to reflect revisions from the Western Native Trout Initiative, a recognized Fish Habitat Partnership (FHP) of the National Fish Habitat Partnership.

Fishes of the Upper Colorado River Basin have one of the highest levels of endemism in the United States. The range and abundance of these fish has declined over the last century and continues to decline as a result of legacy impacts from past management practices, current water management, interactions with non-natives, and other impacts. Seven of these fish are considered imperiled by the American Fisheries Society and four are listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. We applied a complementarity-based approach to develop priority ranks (0 – 1; low to high) for catchments in the Upper Colorado River Basin. We used methods and a framework that we had previously developed for the Lower Colorado...

Partnership - Western Native Trout Initiative The Redband Trout, a group of Rainbow Trout, are remarkable fish. Some live as freshwater fish and some as anadromous fish that occupy both fresh and saltwater habitats during different stages of their lives. The interior Redband Trout is listed as a “Species of Conservation Concern” in most of its range. Its historic range covers eastern Washington and Oregon, northeastern California, central and southwestern Idaho, northwestern Montana, and parts of northern Nevada. Within this broad area, Redband Trout habitat can vary from higher elevation cold-water mountain streams to lower elevation warmer desert-type streams that have periods of low stream flows and high water...

Partnership - Western Native Trout Initiative Seldom are dams beneficial to fish populations but the Chadbourne Dam is an exception. The Shields River watershed has substantial conservation value for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri) because the watershed is the largest basin-level stronghold for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout populations in Montana. Within the Shield River watershed, sixty-six percent of streams of historically occupied habitat still support Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. This watershed is at the northern extent of the species’ native range, which also provides an opportunity to conserve Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout where they can be resilient to climate change. The Chadbourne...
