Latest Motion

April 2009 motion:
“In recognition of GCDAMP [Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program] goals toward management of the Colorado River through an ecosystem approach, AMWG directs the TWG [Technical Work Group] to establish the Species of Concern Ad Hoc Committee [SMCAHC, (the Committee)] and requests the participation of GCMRC [U.S. Geological Survey Glen Canyon Monitoring and Research Center] in that ad hoc committee, to produce a draft report to be presented to AMWG on or before by May 1, 2011, that contains the following with regard to species of management concern in the CRE: A review of information about an assessment of the status of habitat needs and availability, and ecosystem roles of the species.” [1]

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.
