Characterization of Sensitive Species and Habitats Affected by the Operation of USACE Water Resource Development Projects.

Abstract

This technical note is a product of the Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program (EMRRP) work unit titled "Reservoir Operations - Impacts on Target Species." Current knowledge regarding the occurrence of sensitive species that have been identified as a management concern in the operation of Corps projects is reviewed. The status and management of these species are examined, and species of management concern are arranged into groups based on similarities in life history characteristics and habitat requirements. These groups are further examined to identify opportunities for habitat and ecosystem-level management of sensitive species on Corps lands. Turtles and their habitats are excluded because they were addressed in a previous technical note by Dickerson, Reine, and Herrmann (1999).
