"A Way Forward" Implementation Team (July, 2011) <br /> 1. Formed by institutional players with responsibilities and investments in implementing <br /> an adaptive management "Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Plan" based <br /> on the "A Way Forward" scientific evaluation. <br /> 2. Released 1st iteration Plan in August 2012 followed by 18 months intensive input <br /> and re-drafting. The re-draft stripped out positioning and focused strictly on how to <br /> integrate fish needs, science and available water. <br /> 3. All re-drafted IP chapters have been cleared through the Legislative Subcommittee. <br /> 4. Working on the interface of the Implementation Plan and NCA Legislation. <br /> What has been learned by adaptive management and monitoring? — See Map <br /> Dolores River: Populations of Native and Predator Fish in DRD Reaches and <br /> accompanying Reach Map Table. New learning will be integrated as we move forward <br /> with the Adaptive Management process. <br /> What's Next? <br /> 1. Completion and adoption of the re-drafted Implementation, Monitoring and <br /> Evaluation Plan (March, 2014 target). The Plan will provide an agreed upon and <br /> well-structured adaptive management framework going forward. <br /> 2. Finishing legislative parameters framework and drafting agreed upon NCA principles <br /> into legislative language to provide enduring protections for downstream ecological <br /> values as well as water rights and allocations. The legislation may also resolve <br /> some of the uncertainties resulting from the federal LRMP/EIS processes. <br /> 3. Reaching out to other stakeholders on the Lower Dolores River to coordinate efforts <br /> that will protect the ecological and recreational values along with water rights and <br /> allocations on the Dolores River as a whole. This Workshop is a good start. <br /> 2 <br />
