Recovery Program elements <br />The following are the five elements of the Recovery Program: <br />• Habitat management, which includes identifying and acquiring in- stream flows and changing <br />operations of Federal dams to benefit endangered fish. <br />• Habitat development, which means restoring flood plain habitats and constructing fish pas- <br />sageways around dams and other barriers. <br />Native fish propagation, which involves establishing methods and facilities for holding adult <br />broodstock, which will prevent extinction and maintain genetic resources; developing grow -out <br />ponds; conducting research to improve survival of endangered fish raised in captivity and <br />stocked in the wild; and supporting appropriate stocking and reintroduction efforts. <br />Non - native species and sport - fishing, which entails managing detrimental non - native fish <br />species in critical habitat of endangered fish. This element also involves distributing information <br />to anglers to reduce accidental taking of endangered fish. <br />• Research, monitoring and data management, which is aimed at gaining a better understand- <br />ing of what the fish need to survive, grow and reproduce in the wild. It includes maintaining data <br />on the numbers, sizes and locations of endangered fish captured during research studies; moni- <br />toring endangered fish population trends; and making recommendations on river flows. <br />XWOW "J <br />VW <br />WOW <br />4 <br />Changing the operation of Flaming Gorge and other Federal dams to provide higher <br />river flows in the spring is one way the Recovery Program is working to improve habi- <br />tat for endangered fish. <br />6 <br />
