Memorandum
To: Regional Director, Region 6, Fish and Wildlife
Service, Denver, Colorado
AC~Ii3G
From: Regional Director, Western Region
Subject: Colorado Squawfish Recovery Plan
In our memorandum to you of September 23, 1977 we provided comments
on your agency's draft Colorado Squawfish Recovery Plan. We mentioned
then that you can expect to hear from us further after we consult with
Superintendents of Grand Canyon National Park and Lake Mead National
Recreation Area about feasibility of participation by their staffs in
any of the actions proposed in the recovery plan.
At present the Superintendent at Grand Canyon cannot heavily commit
any funds or personnel to the recovery plan, because these are already
programmed for other high priority programs.
However, until more funding is available, he can cooperate if requested,
in the following ways:
1. To a limited extent, recovery team members might accompany
the park's Colorado River patrols. Such trips could give
team members an overview of the situation but would be
insufficient for in depth studies for critical habitat, etc.
For specific studies a river trip would have to be programmed
and funded to meet that objective.
2. Within capabilities, park staff will enforce pertinent
regulations and discuss endangered fish with river runners.
This subject is also covered in annual riverguide training
sessions.
