EAGER: TOMORROW'S WATERSHEDS: A DOCUMENTARY MEDIA PACKAGE EXAMINING FUTURE SCENARIOS RESEARCH IN LTER WATERSHEDS

THIS PROJECT AIMS TO BRING MORE IMAGERY, VISUAL MEDIA, AND EDUCATIONAL STORIES TO IMPERILED FISHES AND AQUATIC LIFE OF THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN AND THE BROADER SOUTHWEST, SUCH AS THE RAZORBACK SUCKER AND APACHE TROUT. IMAGERY AND FILMS WILL RAISE AWARENESS OF CONSERVATION NEEDS OF THESE FISHES, AND THE WORK OF USFWS AND PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. FRESHWATERS LLLUSTRATED BRINGS UNIQUE MISSION-DRIVEN SKILLS AND APPROACHES TO THIS PARTNERSHIP, AND ALSO OFFERS IN-KIND SERVICES AND RESOURCES TO THIS COOPARATIVE AGREEMENT

WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND OTHER PARTNERS, FRESHWATERS ILLUSTRATED WILL PRODUCE A SHORT EDUCATIONAL FILM, VIDEO SHORT SERIES, IMAGE SET, AND EDUCATOR MATERIALS THAT BUILD ON OUR EXISTING OUTREACH EFFORTS TO HELP RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND CONSERVATION ETHOS AROUND THE NATURE AND VALUE OF DESERT FISHES, THEIR HABITATS, AND THEIR CONSERVATION NEEDS. WE WILL EMPHASIZE BASIN RANGE FISHES AND HABITATS THAT WE HAVE NOT CAPTURED PRIOR IMAGERY OF, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON NORTHERN NEVADA, OWENS DEATH VALLEY, SELECTED SOUTHERN NEVADA HABITATS (E.G., POOLFISH, SPRINGFISH HABITATS), AND ADDITIONAL BASIN RANGE HABITATS IN OREGON, UTAH, AND WYOMING.OUR SHORT FILM AND IMAGERY WILL BE SHARED THROUGH WEB AND SOCIAL MEDIA, THROUGH COMMUNITY EVENTS AND PRESENTATIONS, THROUGH STAKEHOLDER CONFERENCES, AND THROUGH K-12 AND COLLEGE EDUCATORS, AS WELL AS BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR PARTNER NEEDS, EXHIBITS, ARTICLES, AND OTHER OUTREACH PRODUCTS. WE WILL ARCHIVE ALL IMAGERY FOR USE IN AN ANTICIPATED FEATURE FILM ON AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS OF THE GREAT BASIN.

IN COLLABORATION WITH GRAND CANYON YOUTH WE WILL ENHANCE THE EXISTING VERDE RIVER K12 YOUTH LEARNING FIELD TRIPS WITH WATERSHED AND BIODIVERSITY EDUCATION THAT CONNECTS THE FORMAT OF THE FIELD TRIPS WITH KEY STEM AND OTHER LEARNING CONCEPTS OF FOCUS IN THE PARTICIPATING ELEMENTARY GRADE LEVELS. WE WILL CREATE TWO SHORT EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS TO BE USED BEFORE AND AFTER THE FIELD TRIP TO BUILD CONTEXT AND REFLECTION FOR THE FIELD EXPERIENCE. IN ADDITION TO THE VIDEOS WE WILL CREATE WEB BASED CLASSROOM GUIDES THAT INCORPORATE RELEVANT NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE AND STATE TEACHING STANDARDS AND VOCABULARY ALONG WITH EXTENSION AND INQUIRY ACTIVITIES AND INVESTIGATIONS.
