To prevent the loss of a species of unique fish, the Little River Marbled Darter, this project consisted of activities to regenerate the local fish population in the Little River. The Marbled Darter population is considered stable but extremely vulnerable. Without interventions from conservation organizations such as Conservation Fisheries Inc. and The Nature Conservancy (TNC), any adverse event could cause irreversible declines. Arconic Foundation supported the hatching and relocation of Marbled Darter fish in two project locations along the French Broad River and the Little River.
