Indian Bay Ecosystem Corporation is a non-profit community organization with the goal of protecting Indian Bay watershed through research, community engagement and sound stewardship.The Indian Bay area was known in fishing circles for its large native Brook Trout. In the 1970?s and 80?s easier access, increased fishing pressure, poor conservation ethic and lack of management led to declines in brook trout populations and the deterioration of the watershed.
