Religious Importance Sample Clauses

Religious Importance. When asked if religion was important in their current lives, responses ranged. Some participants explained that religion is not very important to them at all. Many described that religion is still very important in their lives today, while others explained that spirituality is now more important to them than religion. Several young women explained that religion was more important to them during youth than adulthood. Participants also explained that they found it easier to be more religious back at home than in the college environment. One young woman [ID #005] explained, “And I would say, back at home, I was more religious, just for the fact that it was with my family and my church family and, you know, there was always somebody, you know, there with you, but now it’s kind of like you’re on your own and you really have to develop and grow as a person to see how your spiritual life can change or how it has changed.”

  • Importance The Yampa River is the largest remaining essentially unregulated river in the Upper Colorado River Basin, and its inflow into the Green River, 65 miles downstream of Flaming Gorge Dam, ameliorates some effects of dam operation on river flow, sediment load, and temperature (Xxxx et al. 2000). Holden (1980) concluded that flows from the Yampa River, especially spring peak flows, were crucial to the maintenance of the Green River’s “large-river” characteristics and, therefore, very important to maintaining suitable conditions in the Green River downstream of the confluence. The Yampa River supports resident subadult and adult Colorado pikeminnow, contains one of the primary Colorado pikeminnow spawning areas in the Upper Basin and is a major producer of fish for the entire Green River subbasin (Xxxx and Xxxx 1989). A small population of humpback chub exists in the Yampa River in Dinosaur National Monument (Xxxx and Xxxx 1989; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1990a, 2002a). Spawning aggregations of adult razorback sucker were observed near the mouth of the Yampa River, and adult razorback sucker were captured upstream to the mouth of the Little Snake River (Xxxx and Xxxx 1989). The lower portion of the Yampa River was part of the historic range of bonytail and is associated with some of the most recent captures of this very rare fish. The Bonytail Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1990b) identified the Yampa River within Dinosaur National Monument as a high priority recovery and/or restoration site. The Little Snake River provides approximately 28% of the Yampa River's flow and 60% of the Yampa River’s sediment supply. The sediment supply of the Little Snake River is believed to be important to the maintenance of backwater nursery areas utilized by young Colorado pikeminnow in the Green River (Xxxxx and Green 1991). Adult Colorado pikeminnow have been captured in the Little Snake River upstream to near Baggs, Wyoming, and humpback chub have been captured in the lower 10 miles of the Little Snake River (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2002a, 2002c).
