9 <br />VII. CONSERVATION ACTIONS <br />The signatories will review and document existing and ongoing programmatic actions <br />that benefit the three species. As signatories develop their individual management plans for <br />conservation of the three species, each signatory may include but is not limited by or obligated to <br />incorporate the following conservation actions: <br />1) Conduct status assessment of roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth sucker. <br />2) Establish and maintain a database of past, present, and fixture information on roundtail <br />chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth sucker. <br />3) Determine roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth sucker population <br />demographics, life history, habitat requirements, and conservation needs. <br />4) Genetically and morphologically characterize populations of roundtail chub, bluehead <br />sucker, and flannelmouth sucker. <br />5) Increase roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth sucker populations to <br />accelerate progress toward attaining population objectives for respective species. <br />6) Enhance and maintain habitat for roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth <br />sucker. <br />7) Control (as feasible and where possible) threats posed by nonnative species that compete <br />with, prey upon, or hybridize with roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth <br />sucker. <br />8) Expand roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth sucker population <br />distributions through transplant activities or reintroduction to historic range, if warranted. <br />9) Establish and implement qualitative and quantitative long -term population and habitat <br />monitoring programs for roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, and flannelmouth sucker. <br />10) Implement an outreach program (e.g., development of partnerships, information and <br />education activities) regarding conservation and management of roundtail chub, bluehead <br />sucker, and flannelmouth sucker. <br />
