Priority Waters: Our strongest opportunities.

To focus and expand our efforts on the most important habitat, we recently completed a comprehensive, state-by-state assessment to identify TU’s Priority Waters. These are the places of greatest opportunity, where we have the strongest potential to protect, reconnect, and restore vital fisheries.

We are most successful when we pull together as staff, volunteers, and partners to focus our resources on shared priority areas—and stick with the work long enough to achieve an ambitious conservation vision. Together we are creating a truly strategic portfolio of places where TU is working toward positive change at a meaningful scale.
