This symposium will build on the highly successful reservoir habitat restoration symposium presented at the 2014 AFS Annual Meeting in Little Rock. The Reservoir Fisheries Habitat Partnership (RFHP), one of 19 Fish Habitat Partnerships comprising the National Fish Habitat Partnership, has been providing granting and networking opportunities to fisheries professionals and lay users of reservoir resources since 2010. A national assessment on reservoir fisheries habitat impairments and a database on key reservoir metrics have been developed. Best Management Practices for reservoir habitat restoration have been compiled and made available online. Presentations on these efforts will be made. Partnering opportunities among fisheries management agencies, municipalities, corporations and anglers will be discussed. Agency habitat restoration programs will be highlighted and means of funding such programs will be shared. Most reservoirs were constructed for purposes other than providing fish habitat. The challenges of habitat restoration in the face of multi-use priorities will be discussed. The age-old question of whether adding structure to reservoirs serves simply as fish attractants or is a viable means of increasing productivity at the reservoir scale will be explored. Symposium participants will benefit from discussion of these topics and being informed of a path moving forward. Attendees should leave this symposium with the knowledge necessary to successfully encourage their employers to support the efforts to restore reservoir fisheries habitat on a national scale.
