Technical Committees <br />A professional technical committee made up of representatives from each state advises <br />the Council. This committee provides the basic biological expertise on matters pertaining to <br />fish and wildlife. <br />Because of travel considerations and common problems, subcommittees reporting to the <br />Technical Committee are organized as Upper and Lower Basin sections. The lower basin <br />states are Arizona, California and Nevada. The upper basin states are Colorado, New <br />Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. <br />Also reporting to the Technical Committee is the Prohibited and Protected Fishes, <br />Amphibians and Reptiles Committee. This group oversees the work of the Endemic Species <br />Committees which also are organized as Upper and Lower Basin sections. <br />The Endemic Species Committees are responsible for consolidating management pro- <br />grams for endemic species which are under varying degrees of environmental stress, and <br />they also coordinate the activities of study groups. Here is a chart illustrating the lines of au- <br />thority for the various committees reporting to the Council: <br />COLORADO RIVER WILDLIFE COUNCIL <br />TECHNICAL COMMITTEE <br />Technical Subcommittee Technical Subcommittee <br />Lower Basin Upper Basin <br />PROHIBITED AND PROTECTED FISHES. <br />AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES COMMITTEE <br />Endemic Species Committee I ( Endemic Species Committee <br />Lower Basin Upper Basin
