Recommend and implement actions or management <br />strategies, including flow manipulation or piscicide <br />application, to reduce or eliminate negative impacts of <br />non-native species upon native fishes. <br /> <br />f. Implement efforts to disseminate information to the <br />public to improve compliance with laws and regulations <br />regarding introduction of non-natives and endangered <br />species recovery. <br /> <br />g. Implement a rigorous law enforcement program to <br />minimize violations of laws and regulations regarding <br />introduction of non-natives and endangered species. <br /> <br />3.6 MONITORING AND DATA MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />3.6.1 statement of Problem <br /> <br />Monitoring is needed to evaluate status and trends of endangered <br />fish and other native and non-native species populations, and to <br />define the overall success of the Implementation Program, not the <br />least of which is the determination of viability of conservation <br />efforts and the results of hypothesis testing. A data management <br />system is therefore required to provide a repository for data <br />obtained during and after the research period and serve as a <br />central clearinghouse for dissemination of such data. <br /> <br />Federal, state, tribal, and private entities have collected <br />extensive data on the life history, behavior, and habitat <br />requirements of endangered fish species in the Upper Colorado <br />Basin. The status and quality of these data are variable, and <br />improved management and analysis of these data are priority <br />management needs. A centralized data management system has been <br />established for the Upper Basin to make the best possible use of <br />existing data and ensure a coordinated and effective data <br />management and analysis effort in the future. Such a system is <br />key to conducting cost-effective research and monitoring programs <br />in the San Juan River basin. <br /> <br />3.6.2 Course of Action <br /> <br />3.6.2.1 Research <br /> <br />a. During the research period, monitoring will be <br />accomplished by regularly scheduled and systematic <br />inventories. <br />
