The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national

    Appendix 87 FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT LAKE TROUT DISPLACE BULL TROUT IN MOUNTAIN LAKES Wade Fredenberg, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Kalispell, MT 59901 ABSTRACT I surveyed five large mountain lakes in Glacier National Park, Montana, with gill nets in 2000 to assess the status of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) populations. I compared results to previous surveys, conducted in 1969 and 1977, at which time numbers of native bull trout were higher than recently established populations of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). The data indicate a broad decline in bull trout numbers and corresponding increases in lake trout population size in Kintla, Bowman, Logging, and McDonald lakes. In Quartz Lake, where lake trout are not known to occur, bull trout catch was stable across years. These data suggest that lake trout expansion has had a substantial detrimental impact on Glacier National Park bull trout populations especially because variables commonly implicated in bull trout population decline elsewhere across the species' range are not significant factors in Park lakes. I contend that effective recovery actions for adfluvial bull trout populations, in mountain lakes where nonnative lake trout have become established, must be directed at reducing species interaction through directed control actions on lake trout. I suggest that the rate and magnitude of the transition from native bull trout to introduced lake trout may depend on multiple factors, including migration of either species, the extent and quality of bull trout spawning and rearing habitat, and the structure of the lacustrine food chain. Four of the five bull trout populations I studied in Glacier National Park lakes are currently at high risk of extirpation, due primarily to incompatibility with introduced lake trout populations.

Glaciers occur in all latitudes and on every continent except Australia. They are present along the Equator on high volcanic peaks of Africa and in the rugged Andes of South America. Even in New Guinea, which many think of as a steaming, tropical jungle island, a few small glaciers occur on the highest mountains. Almost everyone who has made a trip to a high mountain range has heard the term, "snowline," and many persons have used the word with­ out knowing its real meaning. The true snowline, or "regional snowline" as the geologists call it, is the level above which more snow falls in winter than can he melted or evaporated during the summer.
