Page 14 ~ <br />Timeline <br />2005 - 2009: Identify and fill information gaps. If the status of a population, drainage, or <br />stream or the number of populations in a given management unit is unknown, we will ~ <br />conduct baseline surveys. In addition, we will identify the population size or number of <br />occupied stream miles needed in each management unit to maintain persistence. We will <br />also evaluate and determine population boundaries for each species and incorporate <br />genetic information into delineation of management units. Each of these details will aid <br />the Team as they assess progress during the fifth and tenth years of the Agreement (2009 ~ <br />and 2014). <br />2005 -indefinite: Prevent losses of known populations. If we determine through baseline <br />surveys that numbers and sizes of populations per management unit are sufficient and <br />stable, we will prevent the loss of these populations through protection of the current ~ <br />situation if threats are currently minimal, or identification and reduction of threats in <br />systems where threats are more immediate. Reduction of threats will be through <br />conservation actions deemed appropriate for the type and severity of threats in the <br />.management unit, as identified through baseline surveys. <br />2006: Formulate management objectives for drainages where information is sufficient to ~ <br />do so and begin management. The three species cooperators have begun formulating <br />specific conservation and management actions for each species in each drainage. This <br />list, which can be found in the Annual Priorities document, will be finalized by December <br />2006 for incorporation into the prioritization process at the 2007 annual meeting. This list <br />will be updated and referred to each year for identification of three species projects that ~ <br />year. Each management unit will have a separate timeline for implementation of <br />conservation activities within the unit. The document will be reviewed and updated as <br />new information is gathered. <br />2008 - 2012: Establish and enhance additional populations, where appropriate and as ~ <br />needed (no net loss). If sufficient population numbers do not exist to meet objectives for a <br />given management unit, we will establish new populations and expand existing <br />populations in those areas as needed. If a population is lost in one area of the.. <br />management unit and we are unable to minimize threats in that same location at that time, <br />the Team can choose to restore the species to another location within the management ~ <br />unit to fulfill the success criteria. <br />• 2008 -indefinite: Create self-sustaining populations. Efforts that prevent the loss of or <br />establish new populations will continue through implementation of activities that ensure <br />the persistence of these populations. The goal of all conservation activities is to create ~ <br />and/or maintain three species populations such that all existing populations are self- <br />sustaining and not in need of augmentation. Where required, this includes maintenance or <br />re-establishment of connectivity necessary to maintain metapopulations as called for <br />under Objective 3 of the Agreement ("establish and/or maintain. sufficient connectivity <br />between populations so that viable metapopulations are established and/or maintained"). . <br />r <br />L <br />
