programs, where they exist, will constitute some of the geographic implementation of
this plan.
The following priorities are ranked in order of importance. The most urgent task
(Priority 1) lists the actions considered necessary for preventing extinction of the
razorback sucker. The next most urgent task (Priority 2) lists the actions considered
necessary for recovery, down listing, and delisting. The remaining, and less urgent,
tasks detail the long term actions necessary to meet other recovery objectives relating
chiefly to population maintenance: management plans (Priority 3), habitat protection
(Priority 4), and improved communication (Priority 5).
Priority 1. An action that must be taken to prevent extinction in the immediate
future, and to prevent the species from declining irreversibly in the
foreseeable future.
Priority 2. An action that must be taken to prevent a significant decline in the
number of extant populations and needed habitats of this species,
and to allow recovery to a less endangered status.
Priority 3-5. All other actions necessary to meet the recovery objectives.
