Fish Management? • Vision – DFC… Desired Future Conditions – ORV… Outstanding and Remarkable Values • Compromise – Do you want big fish or a lot of fish? – Fish are not the only resource being managed for downstream of GCD • Feasibility – Fiscal – Legal – Logistical – Political
Fish Management? • Implementation (a few tools) – Add fish • Translocation • Augmentation • Stocking – Remove Fish • Mechanical Removal • Chemical Removal • Change in regulations – Habitat manipulation • Advantageous or disadvantageous for certain species – Flows – Temperature – Sediment – Food base • Feasibility
Fish Management? • • • Uncertainty/Patience – Adaptive management • Utilize best available information to design experiments to drive resource towards desired condition • Experiment • Monitor resource/resources • Analyze data and compare current resource/resources to that of desired condition • Go back to step 1 as necessary to reach desired conditions • Continue to monitor Feasibility Public Outreach – Throughout the process
