<br />000460 <br /> <br />constitute an overall approach to the future management of declining aquatic species in l <br />Colorado. For each component, workshop participants identified existing and missing J <br />resources, tools, information and partnerships, as well as possible actions to achieve the desired <br />results. Appendix Al provides a verbatim list of each group's work, which was then paired <br />down and prioritized into the eight components listed below. The following eight components <br />reflect the integrated work of all four groups. <br /> <br />1) Watershed management approach <br />2) Common vision <br />3) Coordination/leadership among agencies and organizations <br />4) Cost effectiveness <br />5) Data <br />6) Funding <br />7) Education and public relations <br />8) Regulatory backgroundlbackdrop that works <br /> <br />After these eight components had been identified, workshop participants divided themselves into <br />eight roughly equal groups to brainstorm responses to the following three questions: 1) What <br />are the existing resources, tools, information, and partnerships that could be relied upon to <br />support these components of a desired future management approach; 2) What are the missing <br />resources, tools, information, and partnerships necessary to achieve the components of a desired <br />future management approach; and 3) What are the possible actions to achieve the desired <br />results. <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />1) Watershed Management Approach <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />I <br /> <br />Workshop participants indicated the need for a watershed management approach that is <br />dynamic, decentralized, bottom-up, based on priorities identified basin-by-basin, and designed <br />to promote sustainable long-term results. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Existing resources. tools. information and partnerships available to achieve desired <br />results: <br /> <br />. 208 regions. <br />.
