Tennessee River Basin Report Card
The Tennessee River Basin Report Card was developed as a tool for prioritization and restoration decisions made in the Tennessee River Basin. The report card document is also meant to serve as an outreach tool for use by managers to highlight particular issues of importance when communicating conservation and restoration with the public.
UTRB Strategy
The purpose of the Imperiled Aquatic Species Conservation Strategy for the Upper Tennessee River Basin is to provide a cost effective approach to guide conservation and management of imperiled freshwater fish and mussel species.
Data
This is a compilation of data relevant to the Tennessee River Basin geographic scope that can be used to help guide conservation planning for the region's biodiversity. The Science & Management Community of Practice will be working to inventory available data sets and make them available via the portal. In the interim, if you have data you feel would be helpful to Network members please contact Gillian Bee gilliab@g.clemson.edu
How-To Guides and Handouts
This folder contains instructional guides and handouts for using the Appalachian LCC portal and tools.
TRB Images
Photos of the natural resources and partners working to protect those resources in the Tennessee River Basin.
Master Neves Library
This is a compilation of resources from the library of Dick Neves, Professor at Virginia Tech and Director of the Virginia Tech Mussel Center. These resources include published and non-published literature that have been scanned to a PDF. A direct link to each document and summary information is provided in the spreadsheet below.
ECO Health Report Cards
Our environmental report cards synthesize data from scientists and volunteers and convert it into an image-rich format that is easily accessible to a wide audience. Report cards also tap into a powerful human motivator: peer pressure. Civic leaders and community members can compare their grades with their neighbors, and we have learned that these comparisons lead to a desire for better environmental outcomes in their own backyard. For nearly two decades our team has worked both at the local level with river protection groups, and developed assessments of iconic ecosystems such as the Chesapeake Bay (USA) and the Great Barrier Reef (Australia). These environmental report cards have been used to catalyze improvements in ecosystem health, guide restoration efforts, and stimulate relevant research.
