Augmentation of wild populations with hatchery‐reared individuals continues to be a valuable tool in conservation biology. The authors and editors hoped that the tips, tricks, and techniques that worked on some imperiled species might be adaptable to others. This special section serves as a repository for information shared at the Captive Propagation of Imperiled Aquatic Species Symposium at the 147th AFS Annual Meeting (held in Tampa, Florida, August 2017).

An extended marine heat wave occurred across the North Pacific during 2014–2016, including the formation of the warm “Blob” followed by a strong El Niño in 2016. Coincident with this marine heat wave, we documented unprecedented biological changes in plankton and nekton in the Northern California Current within pelagic surveys conducted over 20 years (1998–2017).

In this study, the authors surveyed Striped Bass Morone saxatilis anglers from multiple coastal Atlantic states to explore how potential policies may change fishing behavior, assess angler motivations and catch‐related attitudes, and determine whether attitudes correlate with intended behavior. Results revealed that rule changes fundamentally changed effort allocation, whereby participants often shifted fishing effort to other saltwater species.

On November 6, the Supreme Court heard a case (County of Maui v. Hawai’i Wildlife Fund) to determine whether the Clean Water Act’s jurisdiction extends to the regulation of pollutants through groundwater flows. AFS joined with other science societies in a brief to the Supreme Court to highlight the important connections between point sources and surface waters via different types of groundwater pathways, as well as the scientific tools used to ascertain those connections.
