Approach
Increase resilience of native fish species by reducing barriers to native species and removing non-native species.
Tactics
- Survey and map non-native species.
- Combine non-native mapping with information on migration barriers.
- Consider information from surveys of warmer basins farther south as indicators of vulnerability.
- Assess migration barriers and potential habitat for native species.
- Remove barriers to fish passage where they will not increase threats from non-native species.
- Maintain or construct barriers to prevent spread of non-native species.
- Remove or control non-native fish species.
- Restore native trout to high-elevation, cold-water refugia.
