2. Habitat development and maintenance
a. Determine nonflow habitat needs of rare fishes
b. Develop and test habitat management techniques
3. Stocking of rare fishes
4. Nonnative species and sportfishing
a. Manage nonnative fishes
b. Manage harvest of rare fishes
5. Research, data management, and monitoring
a. Determine rare-fish flow and habitat needs (for protection and/or
enhancement)
b. Identify criteria for recovery
c. Evaluate recovery measures
d. Assess rare fish population trends
Key to the success of the Program is determination of habitat (and flow) needs
and limitations for fishes of the Basin. Knowledge of flow and nonflow-related
