9 <br />Executive Summary <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />7 <br />• Thus far, newspapers (58%) have been the primary source of information regarding the <br />proposed project, followed by friends and relatives (33 %), television (27 %), the Division <br />of Wildlife (18 %), radio (11 %), and public meetings (6 %). <br />• Warmwater anglers from Colorado's Mesa, Montrose, Delta, and Garfield counties • <br />oppose efforts to recover endangered fish by removing warmwater sportfish from ponds <br />adjacent to the river. Anglers oppose such efforts by a 55 % to 32 % margin. <br />• Interestingly, those who reported to have heard "a lot" (19 %) about the proposed project <br />are more opposed to recovery efforts (75% oppose) than those who are less informed <br />(roughly 50% oppose). • <br />• Warmwater anglers 35 years of age and older are opposed to recovery efforts by more <br />than a 2 -to -1 margin (61 % -26 %), while those under 35 years of age are split, 44% in <br />favor of recovery efforts and 44% opposed. <br />• If the proposed projects move forward, anglers most prefer an option to have the targeted <br />ponds and reservoirs restocked only with bass, crappie and bluegill (75% support this <br />option). Less popular options include restocking with only trout at certain times of the <br />year (52% support), or leaving the warmwaters vacant altogether (8% support). <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />A <br />Li. <br />• <br />
