<br />o <br />C) <br />... <br />t..... <br />-.J <br />c..'J <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Utilize data collected in goals 1 and 2 to help assess progress toward recovery of <br />the endangered species. <br /> <br />Meeting these goals will be accomplished by achieving the following objectives. These <br />objectives form the foundation for the monitoring actions identified. Objectives are listed as they <br />relate to each of the three SJRIP Monitoring Plan goals: <br /> <br />1. Track the status and trends of the endangered and other fish populations in the San <br />Juan River <br />A. Determine relative annual reproductive success of Colorado pikeminnow and <br />razorback sucker. <br />B. Determine population trends, including size-structure, of adult and <br />juvenile fishes of the San Juan River. <br /> <br />2. Track changes in abiotic parameters, including water quality, channel morphology, <br />and habitat, important to the fish community. <br />A. Determine changes in channel morphology and substrate composition. <br />B. Determine changes in cobble bar characteristics, including suspected and <br />potential spawning bars. <br />C. Determine trends in quantity and quality oflow-velocity habitats. <br />D, Determine trends in habitat complexity. <br />E. Determine trends in water quality. <br /> <br />3. Utilize data collected in goals I and 2 to help determine progress toward recovery <br />of the endangered species. <br /> <br />A. Produce an annual summary of monitoring results. <br />B. Provide a detailed analysis of the data collected to help determine progress <br />toward endangered species recovery goals every 5 years. <br /> <br />The San Juan River Monitoring Program is comprised of two major components and each <br />of these is divided into several discrete monitoring activities, each with its specific protocol. <br />Monitoring activities will focus on the reach of the San Juan River between its confluenee with <br />the Animas River (RM l&()) and Clay Hills Crossing (RM 3). <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Dra/\ Leng Tenn Monitoring Plan - SJRJP Biology Committee <br />
