Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Work Tasks
Adaptive Management Program

The LCR MSCP Adaptive Management Program will address uncertainties encountered during implementation of the conservation measures outlined in the Habitat Conservation Plan. The program has three central components: a) gauge the effectiveness of existing conservation measures; b) propose alternative or modified conservation measures, as needed; and c) address changed and unforeseen circumstances.

Through the adaptive management process, new target habitats may be established and managed to reflect new knowledge of species needs. Existing created or restored habitats will not be replaced based on new knowledge, but may be modified or managed differently to reflect the current understanding of the species needs.
