BOR. The Bureau of Reclamation. Division – The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Geographic Management Unit (GMU) - A distinct area, primarily within Utah, defined by the historic least chub range and hydrologic and geographic boundaries. Historic Range - The area that least chub is perceived to have inhabited at the time of modern exploration and settlement of Utah (Approximately 1850). Introduction - Release of wild or cultured least chub into historically unoccupied sites for aiding conservation. LCCAS – The Least Chub Conservation Agreement and Strategy. Nonnative - A species that historically did not occur in a specific area or habitat and that is now present usually as a result of human actions. Reintroduction - Release of wild or cultured least chub into historically occupied sites for the purpose of reestablishing populations. Service – The United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Threat - Any action or activity, past or present, that currently or in the future may prevent the continued existence of least chub. Conditions such as pollution and the presence of nonnatives may also constitute threats. Transplant/Translocate - Removal of least chub individuals from a naturally occurring population and subsequent release of these individuals into other waters for the purposes of establishing new or augmenting populations. Often conducted to provide additional security to guard against continued losses. Mitigation Commission – The Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission BACKGROUND Goal: Objectives:
