<br /> <br />(lG2~54 <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />use. Monitoring of other non-native fish populations will be carried out in <br />conjunction with ongoing native and non-native fish monitoring activities. <br /> <br />4. Wetland and Riparian Vegetation. <br /> <br />Changes in species composition and vegetative area in the three primary riparian <br />zones (the upper riparian zone, lower riparian zone, and hydro-riparian wetland <br />communities) along the river will be monitored. <br /> <br />5. Riparian Avifauna and the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher. <br /> <br />Avifauna monitoring will emphasize the Southwestern willow flycatcher and <br />general riparian avifauna surveys and will collect data with respect to habitat <br />conditions, and population censuses of riparian obligate species, resident non-obligate <br />species, migrant species, and wintering and breeding waterfowl. <br /> <br />6. Threatened and endangered species: the Kanab Ambersnail. <br /> <br />Monitoring of threatened and endangered species will remain a priority for <br />GCMRC. For example, Kanab ambersnail monitoring and research activities will <br />emphasize population age structure analysis, diet analysis, and habitat requirements. <br /> <br />The Cultural Resources Program <br /> <br />This program will address information needs of the AMWG relative to cultural resources <br /> <br />taking into consideration the direction provided by the parties to the Programmatic Agreement <br /> <br />(PA). Activities that are a part of the ongoing PA program may be included. Monitoring and <br /> <br />research information needs and activities from the P A are expected to be a major component of <br /> <br />the Strategic Plan. <br /> <br />The cultural resources program for the GCMRC will accommodates three primary. <br /> <br />components: (a) a core program, (b) a tribal projects element, and I1:J a cooperative programming <br /> <br />aspect. Objectives and information needs specified by the stakeholders have been utilized to <br /> <br />incorporate the following monitoring and research proposals in the Strategic Plan: <br /> <br />Final Draft - (12/15/97) For AMWG Review <br />
