  • Canyonlands As a Contested Landscape of Conservation
    Canyonlands as a Contested Landscape of Conservation by Brooke Larsen, 2014-15 State of the Rockies Project Student Researcher For this year’s State of the Rockies Project, Brooke Larsen researched the contested landscape of the Greater Canyon- lands and the larger Southeastern Utah region. The year 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the designation of Canyon- lands National Park, but the conservation of the larger Canyonlands landscape still remains uncertain. Brooke analyzed four different policy case studies applicable to public lands across the state of Utah, all with potential implications for the future of Canyonlands. These include America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act, Utah’s Transfer of Public Lands Act, the proposed Canyonlands National Park expansion and Greater Canyonlands National Monument, and the Eastern Utah Public Land Initiative. These case studies not only provide a glimpse into the potential future of the Canyonlands landscape, but they also reveal cultural, political, socioeconomic, and legal factors important for understanding why landscapes such as Canyonlands are so contested in Southern Utah. Introduction The Canyonlands region of Southeastern Utah is one As Western states urbanize and develop into discon- of these contested landscapes with unique factors leading to the nected metropolitan regions, contrasting views over how to dispute.

Product Summary: The Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program has implemented a control strategy for nonnative fishes and considers predator control essential to the recovery of four endangered Colorado River fishes: Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus licius), razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus), humpback chub (Gila cypah), and bonytail (Gila elegans). Since 2000, smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui), a non native, invasive predator species, abundance has dramatically increased in the Green River (CRFP, 2003). As a result, a recommendation for smallmouth bass mechanical removal in the Green River and its tributaries was supported in 2004. The ensuing removal activities have added valuable knowledge to smallmouth bass control efforts in large river environments. Furthermore, Haines and Modde (2006) recognized the importance of increasing control efforts at higher levels of exploitation for effective removal of smallmouth bass in the Green River.
