from natural reproduction over time and angler use. Monitoring of other non-native fish

populations will be carried out in conjunction with ongoing native and non-native fish monitoring

activities.

Changes in species composition and vegetative area in the three primary riparian zones

along the river will be monitored including, the upper riparian zone, lower riparian zone, and

hydro-riparian wetland communities

Monitoring of threatened and endangered species will remain a priority for GCMRC. For

example, with respect to the Kanab ambersnail monitoring and research activities will address the

population age structure analysis, diet analysis, and habitat requirements.

Avifauna monitoring will emphasize the southwestern willow flycatcher and general

riparian avifauna surveys (e.g., wintering and breeding waterfow~ riparian obligate species,

resident non-obligate species, and migrant species).

The Cultural Resources Program

This program will address information needs of the AMWG relative to cultural resources

at the direction of parties to the Programmatic Agreement (P A), who are also AMWG members.

Activities that are a part of the ongoing P A program may be included. Monitoring and research

information needs and activities from the P A are expected to be a major component of the

Strategic Plan.

The cultural resources program for the GCMRC will accommodate three primary

components: a core program, a tribal projects element, and a cooperative programming
