Page 46 ~ <br />Table 3-1 Knowledge assessment. The knowledge assessment for prioritization of conservation actions <br />considers what is known for a species in each 8-digit HUC with a potential project identified. ~ <br /> <br />~ ~r -rapt. <br />=~i' ~`'-~--~-~ ~ ~`°,~° -Knowled e~Assess`m~nt -'~~~` `" '`~' <br />Fraction of 8-di it HUC stream len th recentl * suroe ed > 50% = 1 < 50% = 0 <br />Presence of threats Known = 1 Unknown = 0 <br />De ree of threats Known = 1 Unknown = 0 <br />Relative abundance or other appropriate measure of population <br />status <br />Known = 1 <br />Unknown = 0 <br />Is o ulation art of a meta o ulation?

In this system, highest priority is given to 8-digit <br />HUCs with the greatest risk to persistence of three species, with declining and limited numbers <br />of three species populations, with less native diversity, and a higher degree of hybridization with <br />non-natives. Lower scores indicate lower risk and only the eight-digit HUCs in the management ~ <br />units with the highest risk assessment score will move on to the opportunity assessment. If <br />prioritization is performed at the 4-digit HUC level and a smaller area within the HUC is known <br />to have a higher risk assessment score than the total of the unit, that smaller stream can be <br />broken out separately for opportunity assessment. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~7 <br /> <br /> <br />
