Summary
The Colorado River Cutthroat Trout (CRCT) conservation team identified a need to further develop a long-term approach to updating and maintaining the CRCT GIS-based database that was created using the Inland Cutthroat Trout Protocol (ICP). The maintenance and upkeep of the database is critical to the annual and 5-year CRCT status reviews and prioritization of conservation actions. With concurrence from the Desert Fish Habitat Partnership, Western Native Trout Initiative (WNTI) used $18,000 in funds in the AFWA sub-grant to help fund the development of a web-based application for viewing and editing the data for CRCT as well as other cutthroat species (Greenback cutthroat trout and Rio Grande cutthroat trout).

WNTI, Colorado Parks and Wildlife through a $20,000 grant from the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC), and other funding partners contracted with the University of Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center to develop a web-based database to aid in conservation activities. Previously, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming all used separate, “desktop” databases that could not be shared with partnering agencies nor updated for all users simultaneously.
