<br />001l5;58 <br /> <br />5.0.3 <br /> <br />The Division shall involve the public in the decision-making process, using a <br />variety of formats including public meetings, surveys, and working groups in <br />a variety of locations around the state. This effort will recognize the <br />importance of public input into the Basin Management Plan process. <br /> <br />5.0.4 <br /> <br />The Division shall routinely survey the users of aquatic resources for their <br />opinions and satisfactions to provide information that influences fishery <br />management decisions. <br /> <br />Closing Statement <br /> <br />The Commission recognizes that this Policy provides broad direction, and not everything can <br />be accomplished at the same time. Fishery management actions must be dynamic from <br />year to year and will necessarily be influenced by challenges of importance like the current <br />effort to understand and address the impacts of whirling disease on aquatic systems and <br />fish production. <br /> <br />The Division will annually produce an "Action Plan" for distribution to the State's citizens <br />that describes the actual work to be accomplished in the following 12 months. Such "Action <br />Plans" will be part of the Division's broader 5-year budget plan, and will be modified as <br />needed to reflect changes in the Wildlife Commission's Long-range Plan as those changes <br />are made. <br /> <br />Additional copies of this Statewide Fishery Management Policy may be obtained from the <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife, Aquatic Resources Section, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO <br />80216. <br /> <br />15 <br />
