  • Native Fish Conservation
    Yellowstone SScience Native Fish Conservation @ JOSH UDESEN Native Trout on the Rise he waters of Yellowstone National Park are among the most pristine on Earth. Here at the headwaters of the Missouri and Snake rivers, the park’s incredibly productive streams and lakes support an abundance of fish. Following the last Tglacial period 8,000-10,000 years ago, 12 species/subspecies of fish recolonized the park. These fish, including the iconic cutthroat trout, adapted and evolved to become specialists in the Yellowstone environment, underpinning a natural food web that includes magnificent animals: ospreys, bald eagles, river otters, black bears, and grizzly bears all feed upon cutthroat trout. When the park was established in 1872, early naturalists noted that about half of the waters were fishless, mostly because of waterfalls which precluded upstream movement of recolonizing fishes. Later, during a period of increasing popularity of the Yellowstone sport fishery, the newly established U.S. Fish Commission began to extensively stock the park’s waters with non-natives, including brown, brook, rainbow, and lake trout. Done more than a century ago as an attempt to increase an- gling opportunities, these actions had unintended consequences. Non-native fish caused serious negative impacts on native fish populations in some watersheds, and altered the parks natural ecology, particularly at Yellowstone Lake. It took a great deal of effort over many decades to alter our native fisheries. It will take a great deal more work to restore them. As Aldo Leopold once said, “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic com- munity.

Dear Ms. Ledbetter, Please accept the following comments on the Utah BLM’s Color Country Environmental Assessment (EA) for Parcels UT-0517-004, -018, -020, -021, -022, and -025 proposed for the June 2017 oil and gas lease sale. These parcels are located within the Richfield BLM Field Office. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this sale. Trout Unlimited (TU) has 154,000 members nationwide and approximately 1,500 members associated with eight chapters throughout Utah including chapters in the areas these parcels are located. Our mission is to protect and restore coldwater fisheries and their habitats in Utah and across the West. Consistent with that mission, it is TU’s policy to encourage energy development in a way that meets the needs of people while eliminating, minimizing, or mitigating the impacts to coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Our members enjoy fishing and hunting on these lands in addition to working on restoration projects in order to maintain and improve fisheries habitat. On behalf of our members, we offer the following comments. Concerns Regarding Lack of Fisheries and Watershed Information in EA We are concerned about the lack of analysis for watersheds and the associated fisheries in the June 2017 EA. Many of the parcels being offered for lease have a nexus to streams that bear coldwater fisheries and a state of Utah Blue Ribbon designation.
