Recovery Implementation Program For The Endangered Fish Species In The Upper Colorado River PDF Download

Excerpt from Final Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin This document provides the framework upon which recovery of three species of endangered fish and the management of a fourth fish species in the Upper Colorado River Basin (1) is to be based and the concrete steps that are to be implemented as part of a comprehensive program for all four species, herein referred to as the recovery program. Three species, the Colorado squawfish, humpback chub, and bonytail chub, have been listed as endangered by the Secretary of the Interior under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The fourth species, the razorback sucker, is a candidate for Federal listing under this Act. The ultimate goal of this recovery program in the upper basin is to recover and delist the three endangered species and to manage the razorback so it would not need the protection of the Endangered Species Act. This recovery program was developed as part of a cooperative effort that involved many of the agencies and organizations that have an interest in how the Upper Colorado River Basin and its resources are managed. Representatives from the States of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming; the u.s. Bureau Of Reclamation; the o.s. Fish and Wildlife Service; water development interests; and environmental organizations participated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
