PROPAGATioN' PROGRAM
a
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has drafted a policy for the
development, implementation, and evaluation of Controlled Propagation
Programs of imperiled species. It is designed to ensure that all pertinent
issues are addressed in a standard process. To aid in the implementation
of this draft policy, Region 6 Fisheries has developed a' series ©f
guidelines which will be used in the development of specific section::
(1) fish health management, (2) broodstock development and propagation,
(3) introductions, (4) monitoring, and (5) disposal. The guidelines are
intended to provide minimum standards for completing the planning
process for a propagation program.
The sections will be consolidated to make up the propagation plan. The
final plan will be subject to extensive review both internally and by our
partners. It will be necessary to conduct internal section 7 consultation
and meet all NEPA requirements (Environmental Assessment). The final
propagation plan will require Regional Director approval before it is
implemented.
