Charge

Document the status of species of management concern and habitat restoration activities in the Colorado River Ecosystem (CRE), and report regularly upon those findings to the TWG. The SMCAHG will advise the TWG regarding information gaps and potential ways to obtain that information and will provide TWG with a review of plans and documents related to CRE population and habitat restoration efforts and progress. Maintain the “Taxa of Management Concern” white paper and excel tables as information changes.
