Activity 2

Sustain:in 2013, tu expanded its headwaters youth program significantly, and added numerous college chapters throughout the country, giving tu the chance to intersect with students from grammar school through college.tu's volunteers logged 670,492 hours worth a contribution of $24.7 million to the organization. Tu recruited 2,500 new members and, across the country chapters and councils raised almost $10 million for work on the ground. Tu continued its effort to introduce women to fly fishing and the conservation work of the organization through the women in tu program, now in its second year. In 2013, tu saw a 25 percent increase in the numbers of women in the organization.tu's veterans services partnership saw a 35 percent growth in the number of veterans served in 2013; a 30 percent increase in the number of outings for veterans; a 30 percent increase in the number of chapters involved; a 32 percent increase in the number of tu volunteers; and a 24 percent increase in the number of tu volunteer hours.tu launched its new website in 2013, with the idea that it will be a work-in-progress over the next year or so. The new site allows users to upload and add content; interact with fellow members and other users; and access data on things like water flows, fishing reports, trip reports and the like.

Activity 3

Science:tu's science team continues to do groundbreaking work in the field of fisheries restoration. The team's work now influences most of the work undertaken by tu programs all across the country. The team is also on the cutting edge of applied research in fishery recovery projects. Additionally, tu received its first grant from nasa at the end of 2013.tu produced a limiting factor analysis tool - called mr fat - that provides the ability to measure the effectiveness of various meadow and riparian restoration projects on native fish limiting factors. Tu published articles on the genetic integrity of fish populations that are important to sport fishing, such as the south fork of the boise river in idaho, and developed a handbook on stream management for private landowners.tu applied its conservation portfolio planning process to rio grande cutthroat trout, yellowstone cutthroat trout, colorado river cutthroat trout, and bonneville cutthroat trout. Maps showing the results of our analysis may be found on the tu website (www.tu.org/csi).the csi was expanded to help identify salmon and steelhead strongholds on the pacific coast and native fish conservation areas in the colorado river basin and the atlantic coast. Csi analyses have been completed for winter and summer steelhead, coho salmon, chinook salmon, chum salmon and pink salmon on the west coast, as well as atlantic salmon on the east coast.
