• Four ongoing programs for managing native fish and other natural and cultural resources of the Colorado River resources have been underway since the 1980s: the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin (commonly called the Upper Colorado River, Endangered Fish Recovery Program), the San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program, the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program, and the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program.
• This session intends to follow after the 2008 Colorado River Basin Science and Resource Management Symposium (see: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2010/5135/) and will provide scientists, managers and other stakeholders another "coming together" opportunity to share information about the role being played by science in adaptive river management throughout the Colorado River Basin and southwestern US.

• From: AZ Daily Sun - GCWC and Larry Stevens
• Link: AZ Daily Sun Article- LINK
• Details: *Last week, volunteers doing restoration work on the banks of the Colorado River above Lees Ferry found an almost foot-long tiger salamander. The amphibians live on the Colorado Plateau above the river, but haven't been seen on the river's banks according to any known records. Larry Stevens, senior ecologist with the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, found the animal lazing in the shallow water of a marsh bordering the Colorado River last week. “Holy cow," Stevens remembered thinking to himself. “This is an incredibly new find for the Colorado River.”

• Details: Invitation to TWG and interested parties

NPS holds a monthly fisheries management update call. There are two purposes for these calls: 1- Provide verbal updates on our (i.e., NPS-led) fisheries management activities to stakeholders, cooperators, agencies, etc., anyone interested is welcome to call in. 2- Coordinate logistics and plans for fisheries activities among cooperators. Trip reports, annual reports, and peer-reviewed publications that the fish program produces are also distributed on a regular basis. NPS also sends these to the 11 Associated Tribes separately. If you would like to get on the mailing list, or would like more information on these calls, please contact Brian Healy at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Thank you.
