Apache Trout Recovery in the White Mountains of Arizona |
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fisheries Program and its partners are working to recover native Apache Trout in rivers and stream of the White Mountains in Arizona. Due to habitat loss and other threats, Apache trout in the Southwest were on the verge of extinction, and were listed as Endangered. Remnant populations were found only on tribal lands of the White Mountain Apache. The Service its partners took action to identify remaining populations, and to recover Apache trout and restore their habitat. Because of this partnership, the Apache trout is on the verge of becoming the first fish species to be de-listed under ESA. In addition, a limited sport fishing program has been established for Apache trout.
