Public Education and Outreach. The Covered Parties all currently participate in public outreach and education efforts throughout their respective jurisdictions. Each entity will work to increase public awareness of the Covered Species by adding species-specific information to existing conservation messaging, materials, and curriculum to be developed in the first year of the CCAA with input from TPWD and USFWS. Topics to be covered in the messaging will include general awareness and life-cycle needs, ecosystem services, threats to persistence, poaching awareness, water quality, water conservation, and riparian restoration. For example, best management practices for Western Chicken Turtles, such as riparian buffers to protect water quality, minimizing impacts to wetland and riverine habitats, and maintenance of natural hydrology, will be promoted to private landowners. The TRA, NTMWD, and TRWD, three of the Covered Parties, recently started an Alligator Snapping Turtle signage project in consultation with TPWD at several reservoirs in the Trinity River Basin. This signage is designed to educate the public about the protected status of Alligator Snapping Turtles and includes a method of citizen-based science for reporting illegal activity or sightings of this imperiled turtle by submitting an image along with location information. The first 6 months of this project have proved successful, and the program is currently being expanded to other river access points and reservoirs. Additionally, a new crowd- sourced ArcGIS Online map reporting tool was developed and deployed on TRA’s website29. The reports from this website are verified and shared with turtle researchers at the University of Houston Clear Lake and TPWD. This program will be further expanded within the basin and a minimum of 20 additional signs will be installed each year for the first 2 years of the CCAA for a total of over 80 signs in the basin. The sites will be selected based on the public’s ability to access the location (boat ramps and fishing piers) and the ability to gain permission for installation. At the 3-year mark, the project will be assessed to determine xxxxxxx00 and the project will either be continued, or funds will be allocated to other Conservation Measures. These efforts are designed to provide a net conservation benefit to the Covered Species by increasing the understanding of where the species occurs, reducing threats posed by willful, negligent, or unintended actions that may harm the species, and increa...
