Recent Workshops: Two workshops were offered in conjunction with the annual meeting held in February. Both the Freshwater Pearly Mussel and Leadership workshops were well attended and received praise from attendees. The Chapter would like to thank presenters Amy Mahar, Jenny Landry and Dr. Ernie Stretton for sharing their expertise.

Upcoming Workshops: The winter/early spring of 2013 will offer both our NYCAFS annual meeting and the Northeast Fish and Wildlife Conference as venues for workshops in NY. If you have any suggestions for workshop topics please contact Chris VanMaaren at ccvanmaa@gw.dec.state.ny.us or (315) 785-2268. Workshops can held any time during the year.

East Coast Trout Management and Culture Workshop V


“Conservation and Management of East Coast Trout
Resources in an Increasingly Crowded World”
June 11 - 13, 2012
Frostburg State University, Frostburg, MD

The Southern Division AFS Trout Committee announces the Second Call for Papers for the 5th
East Coast Trout Management and Culture Workshop June 11 - 13, 2012, at Frostburg State University in
Frostburg, Maryland.


Coldwater conservation, management and trout production efforts are incrementally being impacted by the
effects of increasing human population and activities on biological and social conditions, and even more
complicated by the added challenges posed by invasive exotic organisms. This Fifth East Coast meeting
presents a unique opportunity for an incredibly diverse gathering of individuals interested in our cold water
resources to gather and discuss vital issues facing the future of these resources. Our hope is that the
information exchanged and discussed at the meeting will help biologists, managers, conservationists, and
anglers be more aware of what they can to do to help protect all coldwater resources for future generations.

Towards this goal we are encouraging presentations on the following topics:
􀂾 Stream restoration for native and wild trout: Biological success stories, why they worked and value to the community.
􀂾 Assessing the value of long-term datasets (>10 years): Revelations, pitfalls, and strategy changes in response to static and shrinking staff and budgets.
􀂾 Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS): We know they’re here, are they impacting our cold-water resources?
􀂾 Living in the 21st Century: The role of new technology in gathering and disseminating fisheries information, particularly for the “silent majority” stakeholders.
􀂾 The three “R’s” of Brook trout management: Regulations, Re-introduction, and Restoration.
􀂾 21st Century genetics techniques and their practical application for todays fisheries managers.
􀂾 Water quality threats to east coast wild trout resources: Acid deposition, AMD, and Marcellus shale drilling?
􀂾 Private land protection and the future of brook trout: How TU, land trusts and agencies are partnering to secure coldwater fisheries.
􀂾 Tailwater trout management: Balancing conflicting resource use desires between anglers, landowners, recreational interests, and private industry.
􀂾 Coldwater culture for the future: Challenges and new opportunities.
􀂾 Biosecurity, disease, and Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) threats to coldwater hatchery production.
􀂾 The role of coldwater hatcheries in native trout restoration and wild trout fishery establishment.
