Join David Graf, US Fish and Wildlife, in a discussion about the endangered fish program and the Cameo call on the Colorado River

Drifters Coffee Shop, 331 Main Street, New Castle, CO, USA

The Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program was established in 1988 to allow for continued water development while focusing Recovery Program Partners’ efforts on recovering federally listed endangered fish (Colorado pikeminnow, razorback sucker, bonytail, and humpback chub). The program has dedicated fish pools in multiple upper Colorado basin reservoirs in Colorado. Colorado River water is delivered to meet critical habitat needs for listed fish in the 15 Mile Reach (15MR) of the Colorado River, defined roughly as Palisade to the Gunnison River confluence. Working with partners, David Graf, the Instream Flow Coordinator for US Fish and Wildlife program, uses adaptive, flexible ways of delivering flows for listed fish. Sign up for the evening program to hear about the Recovery Program partnership, how the various pools of water released from upstream sources affect river flows through the middle Colorado River on their way to the 15MR, and learn about these rare and endangered native fish.The event is limited to 30 people and a ticket is required. Please tell us if you change your mind so others can take your place.Suggested donation to MCWC: $20. All proceeds go towards MCWC's watershed programs.
