Jack Williams of Trout Unlimited explained the TU Conservation Success Index (CSI) and how it is used to evaluate projects involving western native trout species and their recovery approaches and status. Jack discussed both Gila and Apache Trout and how CSI has been helpful in recovery of these species and also recovery of native trout species in other states in the US.
Stewart Jacks, US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), presented a report on FWS involvement with Apache and Gila trout recovery in Arizona and New Mexico. The 2nd revision of the Apache Trout Recovery Plan was signed in 2009. Jeremy Voeltz (FWS) and Julie Carter were the primary biologists.
