<br />as \"e11 as to mo:1inten<1l1ce of other species such as th~ great. blue <br /> <br />heron and the endangered bi:l1d eagle, <br /> <br />Fo;..:.rth, the plan must <br /> <br />ensure tllat 110 additional species become eI1dangered or tllre~tened <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />as the result of water resource development in the upper Colorado <br /> <br />River basin. <br /> <br />The development of a conservation and recovery plan will <br /> <br />require the cooperative efforts of policy makers, biologists, <br /> <br />hydrologists, and others. <br /> <br />All of the documents circulated so far <br /> <br />ralse an important question: will they assure preservation and <br /> <br />recovery of the species? At this point, an answer to that ques- <br /> <br />tion is not readily available. As drafting of a conservation and <br /> <br />recovery plan gets underway it will be necessary to refer speciic <br /> <br /> <br />questions to ad hoc task forces of qualified experts. Th~s <br /> <br /> <br />document recognizes that fact. For example, it will be necessary <br /> <br /> <br />to convene a task force to report on what flow and temperature <br /> <br />regimes are needed at monitoring locations to preserve the habi- <br /> <br /> <br />tat of one or more listed species during a particular life stage <br /> <br /> <br />of those species, based on the best currently available data. <br /> <br /> <br />Fi!1Zl11y, 'we f:L1ve chosen the term l'conservation and recovery <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />pla!:" (;'Je~- the :':'Cr::il "recovery planl' [or tv/o reasons. <br /> <br />Fi::-st/ <br /> <br />r.:-:C' ::-.C:'''I' :::":O;~~,,:~l 'I.:<.:j OJ'!
