DATE: 09/26/77
SUBJECT: Review of Draft Colorado River Squawfish Recovery Plan
We have received the subject draft recovery plan and off the following
comments
H
The Phoenix Area Office became operational as of September 19, 1977,
therefore we find it difficult to provide you with a meaningful review
of the subject recovery plan. I'm sure if we had been in operation for
a longer period of time and had had contact with the recovery team we
would be in a better position to offer specific comments on the plan.
The plan seems well organized and appears to be biologically feasible.
The tasks various agencies will be requested to perform are well defined.
H-1 perhaps the plan could, however, be more precise concerning which
U. S. F&WS region would be responsible for the various tasks assigned to
the service.
The final price tag is rather scary and if the plan is approved as
written several agencies, including the U. S. F&WS, will have to hire
H-2 several full time people to perform the assigned tasks. Also, the
coordination involved in making a recovery plan the size of the subject
plan mesh is tremendous.
We thank you for the opportunity to review the draft plan.
