The Freshwater Trust is a conservation non-profit based in Portland, Oregon. The mission of The Freshwater Trust is to preserve and restore freshwater ecosystems. == History == The Freshwater Trust was a result of a merger between Oregon Trout and Oregon Water Trust in 2009. Oregon Trout was founded by a group of conservation fly fisherman in 1983. Founded 10 years later in 1993 with the help of Oregon Trout, Oregon Water Trust became the nation's first water trust. In 1991, the organization led a coalition to list several Pacific salmon under the Endangered Species Act. In 1996, they created Salmon Watch, a program to introduce students to the importance of protecting wild fish. In 1998, they led the effort to designate lottery dollars to habitat restoration. In 2007, they began building the StreamBank® web platform, an effort to use technology to increase the pace and scale of restoration.They received a patent for StreamBank® in 2011, and two years later, they received the U.S. Water Prize for innovation. In 2015, Joe Whitworth, the organization's president, wrote a book documenting the "quantified conservation" approach that The Freshwater Trust uses to fix rivers. "Quantified: Redefining Conservation for the Next Economy" was published by Island Press.〔"(Quantified: Redefining Conservation for the Next Economy." ) Island Press.
