Aquatic Biodiversity in the Southeast"

Conservation Fisheries saves rare freshwater fish via captive propagation and low-impact monitoring.
We are dedicated to the preservation of aquatic biodiversity and
habitats in the southeastern United States.
Some of
America's rarest and most beautiful aquatic treasures might
disappear forever without our efforts. We propagate rare
native freshwater fish in the only such hatchery in the US.
Our propagated fish can be released into wild habitats to
bolster existing populations, or to restore populations that
have been eliminated. We also maintain "ark" populations
of species facing possible extinction.
We are
nonprofit, depending upon private donations and government
contracts for our operations. We need your help. Please
check out the ways you can give to CFI below!
