4.2. # Support implementation of the Pallid Sturgeon Recovery Plan. <br />4.2.1. Establish and fund a full -time position to serve as pallid <br />sturgeon recovery coordinator. <br />Achievement of pallid sturgeon recovery goals through <br />cooperation of all 13 states, three Service Regions, numerous <br />Federal Agencies, nongovernment organizations, and planning <br />committees will require the leadership and full -time commitment <br />of a Service fishery biologist assigned solely to that <br />responsibility. This person would serve as a recovery <br />coordinator and would establish and lead multidisciplinary <br />recovery implementation committees, possibly organized on a <br />Regional basis. The committees would include members with <br />expertise in engineering and wildlife biology. <br />4.2.2. Develop a long -term strategy for funding sturgeon recovery <br />activities. <br />The existing budgets of participating and responsible parties <br />are not capable of fully funding recovery tasks. Strategies <br />for funding, such as congressional appropriation, water -use <br />fees, Federal mitigation programs, or establishing trust <br />accounts, must be determined. <br />Flathead Chub (Platygobio gracilis) <br />41 <br />
