-6- a The other recommendation by the P&P Committee was for funds to prepare a camera-ready copy of a poster that addresses the problem of the release of aquaria fish into the wild. This poster shows a little boy with his pet gold fish going to public waters to release it (Appendix E). The poster would hopefully make people aware that we need to not release these fish into the wild. The camera-ready copy would be available to each Council state to add its own logo, name and whatever slogan might be appropriate. The camera-ready copy would save the states a little money, but would be most worthwhile in giving something to the states so that they could proceed immediately without the breakdown that often occurs with development of art and design work. A photo-ready copy could be made for about $60 and there would be an additional charge of approximately $14 for each state copy with necessary slogan and names. Council participation, then, would be approximately $158 if all states 41 indicated a need for a copy. The Technical also discussed new information on bait fish transportation. In the past, California has provided a thorough species and disease inspection of live bait fish being shipped into, through or out of California. Normally other basin states have approved transportation in their state after confirming that the shipment was from California because of their confidence in this disease program. Because of volume and other work demands, California now is unable to inspect the large majority of these fishes. Also, some dealers are now importing fish which are uninspected, putting their company name on them as California product and reshipping. Everyone should now be aware that just because the fish comes from California, doesn't mean that it is necessarily inspected for species or disease identification. Recommendations of the Technical Committee pertaining to P&P Committee were accepted for consideration by the Council. J. Wildlife-Habitat Committee Report: 41 Since the approval by the 1986 Council, a Wildlife-Habitat Committee nucleus has met and generated a list of members from the states. Membership will be left open to those states indicating a need and desire. They have started to compile a list of native mammals and are currently preparing to build on results of the new floodway legislation. They are very much interested in 41 interstate cooperation for revegetation work on the diminishing habitats along the Colorado River. The main thrust of that Committee appears to be toward enhancing all habitat communities in the riparian zones along the river. The Technical Committee made a specific assignment to report at the 1988 Technical about selenium problems and studies along the river. is a
