Abstract:

This conservation agreement summarizes the status and distribution of the Pacific lamprey in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California and describes the purpose, goal, and individual objectives of such an agreement for the species in those states. It represents a cooperative effort among natural resource agencies and tribes to reduce threats to the Pacific lamprey and improve the species' habitats and population status. Cooperative efforts through the agreement intend to a) develop regional implementation plans derived from existing information and plans, b) implement conservation actions, c) promote scientific research, and d) monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of those actions. This agreement is the second of three phases in the Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative developed to promote conservation measures for the species.
