HOW CAN WE ELIMINATE THOSE PROBLEMS? <br /> Agency/entity representatives can best provide responses here, but I would suggest that if one or <br /> more groups decide to doggedly pursue a specific set of optimum management objectives for it's <br /> resource of interest, with no attempt at compromise, then there will be unending conflicts, and that <br /> includes the objective of recovery and delisting of endangered species. However, I believe there <br /> necessarily has to be some attempt at prioritizing efforts so that the most benefit for the most <br /> resources is achieved. <br /> 6 <br />
