+==2013 National Park Service Comprehensive Fisheries Management Plan==
 The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to implement a Comprehensive Fisheries Management Plan (CFMP), in coordination with the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD), the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and the USGS-Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (USGS-GCMRC), as described in this Environmental Assessment (EA) for all fish-bearing waters in Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GCNRA) below Glen Canyon Dam (GCD; see Maps 1.1 and 1.2). The intent of the Comprehensive Fish Management Plan is to maintain
 * a thriving native fish community within Grand Canyon National Park

 =='''Alternative 3 Intensive Fisheries Management'''==
-This Alternative also includes implementation of conservation measures, but emphasizes a proactive approach to control of non-native species in GCNP to limit risk of impacts to native species, including endangered fish species.
+The emphasis of Alternative 3 is on more intensive management of non-native fish species in GCNP than in Alternative 2. Actions described under Alternative 1 would continue under this Alternative as would several actions described in Alternative 2 including those under the headings Razorback Sucker Augmentation and Management, Glen Canyon Rainbow Trout Management, and Extirpated Species Reintroduction Feasibility Studies. <br>

-Consistent with NPS Director’s Order-12, for emergencies including:
-# discovery of expansion in distribution or abundance of existing high-risk non-native species, particularly in sensitive areas for native fish (e.g., Havasu Creek or Little Colorado River Inflow areas) or
-# new detection of a rapidly spreading aquatic invasive species or non-native fish species the Superintendent could approve a temporary, short-term, targeted removal effort to treat known occurrences of the new threat using mechanical methods including angling, electro-fishing, and passive (i.e., trap nets) or active (e.g., seining) netting. Simultaneously, additional planning and compliance would be considered if necessary.

 At this time, only Colorado pikeminnow would be prioritized for reintroduction feasibility studies. Potential hybridization between roundtail chub, bonytail, and humpback chub preclude introduction of additional chub species (Gila sp.) in humpback chub habitat. Pikeminnow reintroduction feasibility studies would primarily rely on expert opinion, literature reviews of habitat requirements, and evaluation of existing biological and physical data (e.g., food base, fish community). However, a field survey may also be required to assess physical habitat or collect biological data.
