<br />000198 <br /> <br />INFORMATION. EDUCATION AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT <br /> <br />Annual Revorts: <br /> <br />#PIP 12: 1& E Umbrella - Continue to seek human-interest stories that tie to endangered fish <br />recovery (i.e., the Stewart Brothers and students raising endangered fish in classrooms). These <br />types of stories appeal to the news media and the average reader and help gain more widespread <br />interest in recovery efforts. <br /> <br /># PIP 12H: Interpretive Exhibits - Complete fabrication and installation of six interpretive signs <br />for the Colorado Riverfront Trail in Grand Junction. Pursue setting up a temporary aquarium in <br />the Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam. Determine the feasibility of having an interpretive <br />exhibit at the new Field House Museum in Vernal. (This was originally planned and budgeted to <br />occur, however, we received word that there would not be space once the museum moved. <br />Recently, we heard this may not be the case after all.) <br /> <br />#PIP 12K: Yampa and Gunnison Rivers - Continue to work closely with local stakeholders <br />along the Yampa River, including the Yampa River Basin Partnership. Although emphasis may <br />shift from focusing on the Yampa River Management Plan and PBO to nonnative fish <br />management, it is important to maintain the positive relationship that has been established in this <br />community. Pursue opportunities to establish relationships with communities served by the <br />Gunnison River in anticipation of recovery efforts that may occur in the future. <br /> <br />#PIP 12L: Nonnative Fish Management - Continue to proactively build upon communication <br />efforts launched in FY 2003 with the goal of ensuring that target audiences are well informed of <br />the nature and purpose of planned activities. Seek more support from Recovery Program partner <br />agencies to help with outreach efforts, particularly in the areas of publishing articles in agency <br />publications, posting information to agency web sites, submitting guest editorials to newspapers <br />as appropriate, and participating in any public meetings that may be held. <br /> <br />2003 Report Recommendations, <br />
