The San Marcos National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center (SMNFH and TC) is offering this grant to support critical conservation efforts aimed at preserving the genetic integrity of Barton Springs salamanders. This grant specifically targets populations of these unique amphibians currently held in refugia, which are protected environments designed for their survival and breeding. The primary objective is to meticulously manage these captive populations to ensure their genetic diversity accurately mirrors that of wild Barton Springs salamander populations. This vital work helps prevent inbreeding, maintain adaptive potential, and ensures that any future reintroductions or population augmentations contribute to robust and resilient wild populations, safeguarding the species’ long-term survival against environmental threats.
