Trout Unlimited

Since 1959, Trout Unlimited (TU) has worked to conserve, protect and restore North America's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. They have protected more than 10,000 river miles nationwide and pioneered new scientific, legal and legislative tools to make America's rivers cleaner and healthier. Trout Unlimited has thousands of volunteers working out of more than 400 chapters nationwide to conserve, protect and restore coldwater fisheries.  A professional staff of more than 120 scientists, grassroots organizers, lawyers and policy experts provides a national context for these local efforts, addressing legal and legislative challenges to the health of our nation's rivers. TU brings cutting-edge scientific tools, such as infra-red satellite imagery and sophisticated fish tracking devices, to bear on difficult problems like pollution, habitat loss and climate change. The TU website has adaptation information such as suggested measures to increase resistance and resilience in fish to climate change, specific impacts on cutthroat trout, as well as links to many related resources and publications.
