o a (::1 t-4 C~. w DRAFT AND PREDECISIONAL DOCUMENT. FOR COORDINATION COMMmEE REVIEW ONLY ~ Enhancement of habitats through flow manipulation, physical alteration, water quality improvements, or other actions that positively contribute to recovery of the endangered fish species and management of the native fish community. ~ ~ Modification of current human activities which detrimentally impact or impair the quality of habitats. ~ ~ Acquisition of private property or easements from willing and voluntary sellers for property which is identified as necessary for recovery. ~ Quantifiable improvement in the status of native fish community, Colorado squawfish population, and razorback sucker populations. The above incorporates items listed in Section 4.2.1 of the San Juan River Recovery Implementation Program. There is a considerable body of published and unpublished literature on western North American fishes (native and non-native), their biology, habitats, and ecological relationships. This information will be used, as appropriate, in planning, conducting research, interpreting research/management results, and recommending research and management activities. The elements of the Seven Year Research Plan are incorporated in the LRP. Completion of these elements will allow improved quantification and prioritization of milestones and actions necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of recovery and conservation of the endangered fish species and management of the native fish community of the San Juan River basin. The Tasks detailed in 5.1 through 5.7 are required to accomplish the objectives necessary for the recovery of the San Juan River endangered fish species. Tasks are not listed in order of priority; rather, order of listing reflects the appropriate scheduling for successful and efficient accomplishment of objectives. In nearly all phases of the research program that is to be completed in 1997, Tasks are concurrent with one another. Table 1 displays the integration of Tasks required for development and implementation of management decisions as support for the listed milestones. Figure 1 graphically presents the timeline of task completion and portrays the concurrent nature of the tasks. Task completions that represent milestones are displayed as such. Budgets outlining expenditures for research and management actions to accomplish recovery tasks will be approved on an annual basis by the Coordination Committee per Section 6.5 of the San Juan River Recovery Implementation Program. 5.1 Develop interim management objectives for the endangered fish species and the native fish community of the San Juan River. 5.1.1 Colorado squawfish population goal (Milestone). 13
