Beaver Creek, in the Turkey Creek watershed of Central Alabama, contains designated critical habitat for the federally endangered vermilion darter. Unfortunately, several stretches of Beaver Creek’s banks are eroding, and the sedimentation is reducing habitat quality. To prevent further habitat degradation, two stretches of eroding stream banks will be regraded and stabilized with vegetation and rocks. The stream bank restoration will be conducted in partnership with the Jefferson County Department of Roads and Transportation and the City of Pinson, modeled after previously successful bank stabilization efforts conducted in the Turkey Creek watershed. In addition to vermilion darter, the Turkey Creek watershed is also habitat for the federally endangered Black Warrior waterdog, federally threatened flattened musk turtle, federally endangered rush darter, and federally endangered watercress darter. To better understand their abundance and distribution throughout the watershed, trapping surveys will be conducted for Black Warrior waterdog and flattened musk turtle, and eDNA surveys will be conducted for all species. These surveys will be conducted in partnership with the Alabama Natural Heritage Program. Furthermore, FLT has also received financial support from the Jefferson County Department of Health for this project due to the public health benefits of improving water quality and reducing flooding.
