The Species Threat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) metric documents the contribution of specific conservation and restoration actions in specific places by businesses, governments, civil society, and other actors towards global goals for halting extinctions. As such STAR helps identify actions that have the potential to bring benefits for threatened species, and it supports the establishment of science-based targets for species biodiversity.

In response to TRBN collective priorities and partner input, the Tennessee River Basin Network announces the availability of financial and technical assistance for watershed and community organizations across the Tennessee River Basin within the state of Tennessee to implement a Shade Your Stream project.
This aquatic connectivity portal is a one-stop shop for tools and regional collaboratives focused on aquatic organism passage (“fish passage”) and fragmentation of river and stream ecosystems. It is a starting place for stakeholders, users, and tool developers looking to keep track of the latest initiatives and better identify opportunities for collaboration and action. This portal is maintained by the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC). More coming soon!

Non-point source pollution poses many threats to aquatic and human life across the Tennessee River Basin. In 2020, Tennessee River Basin Network partners voiced their concern about this growing threat and the need to collectively increase capacity to address it. In response, the Tennessee River Basin Network launched a Shade Your Stream grant program in 2021. This program supports individuals and organizations that empower people and their communities to effectively safeguard their watershed’s aquatic and human life through outreach and a hands- on, cost-effective, user-friendly riparian restoration technique.
This 4.5-day workshop will present the USDA Forest Service’s stream simulation method, an ecosystem-based approach for designing and constructing a channel through a road-stream crossing structure that reestablishes physical and ecological continuity along the stream corridor.
Course Objectives-Provide engineers, biologists, hydrologists, and other engaged disciplines the necessary
skills to design road-stream crossing structures that will accommodate aquatic organism
passage, provide for more natural channel function, and maximize the long-term stability of
the structure. The primary design approach is stream simulation.
