The Conservation Efforts Database (CED) in a web-based monitoring and reporting tool that captures data about the conservation, restoration, and recovery actions for the imperiled sagebrush ecosystemand sage-grouse. Funding support from FWS (Science Applications and Nevada Ecological Services) have allowed the CED Team to develop a module for recording data about conservation actions, habitat condition, demography, and genetic information for Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and we propose to expand that effort to include aquatic systems in Legacy Region 6. We propose to use funding to engage with stakeholders to scope the information gaps and tool needs to record and monitor conservation actions and information focused on four inland subspecies of cutthroat trout including Yellowstone, Bonneville, Greenback, and Colorado River cutthroat trout. Deliverables would elicit the desired features and functionality needed to expand the CED to these systems a nd how they could be used to monitor investments for other at-ri sk aquatic species, or at a minimum, provide information about existing tools, datasets, and collaboratives that would preclude the need to expand the CED.
