I. OTHER SPECIES INVOLVED The primary focus of this Agreement is the conservation and enhancement of CRCT and the watersheds in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming upon which they depend; however, other species occurring within or adjacent to CRCT habitat may also benefit. Some of these species include bluehead sucker (Catostomus discobolus), roundtail chub (Gila robusta), mountain sucker (Catostomus platyrhynchus), mottled sculpin (Cottus baird i), and boreal toad (Bufo boreas). Using an ecosystem approach, the CRCT Agreement could reduce or possibly eliminate threats for several of these species. II.
