Klamath Recovery Unit Implementation Plan for Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus)

This recovery unit implementation plan (RUIP) describes the threats to bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) and the site-specific management actions necessary for recovery of the species within the Klamath Recovery Unit, including estimates of time required and cost. This document supports and complements the Recovery Plan for the Coterminous U.S. Population of Bull Trout (USFWS 2015a), which describes recovery criteria and a general range-wide recovery strategy for the species. Detailed discussion of species status and recovery actions within each of the six recovery units is provided in six RUIPs that have been developed in coordination with State, Federal, Tribal, and other conservation partners. This document incorporates our responses to public comment on the Draft Klamath RUIP (USFWS 2015b) received during the comment period from June 4 to July 20, 2015
