    Petition to List U.S. Populations of Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) as Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act May 14, 2018 NOTICE OF PETITION Submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on May 14, 2018: Gary Frazer, USFWS Assistant Director, [email protected] Charles Traxler, Assistant Regional Director, Region 3, [email protected] Georgia Parham, Endangered Species, Region 3, [email protected] Mike Oetker, Deputy Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Allan Brown, Assistant Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Wendi Weber, Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Deborah Rocque, Deputy Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Noreen Walsh, Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Matt Hogan, Deputy Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Petitioner Center for Biological Diversity formally requests that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) list the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the United States as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. §§1531-1544. Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

  • Drought Impact on Fish Communities and River Health in the Corangamite Region
    Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region An isolated pool in Painkalac Creek. Tom Ryan and John McGuckin Report prepared for Corangamite Catchment Management Authority August 2007 Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region Executive Summary This study provides a rapid assessment of river condition and aims to determine the key issues affecting aquatic health including the relative impact of drought. It is designed to help prioritise potential management actions in the drought response plan. Pre-existing catchment issues, such as water extraction, extensive land clearing and lack of riparian vegetation can directly affect river health and compounds impacts caused directly by drought. Where catchments have been degraded by past management practices, the severity of the drought upon stream health has been the most extreme. Waters examined in this study have been classified into 3 distinct classes of river health, streams with minor stress, streams with moderate stress and streams that have severe stress. Waterways with minor drought stress had lower streamflows than normal as a result of the drought but were in no immediate threat of becoming severely stressed by the drought. Waters classified as having moderate stress are ones in which the existing aquatic fauna is expected to be experiencing some stress, however, the stress is unlikely to have caused the loss of species. Streamflow may have ceased in freshwater reaches and water deterioration may have occurred in remaining refuge habitat, however, the duration of the stress upon aquatic fauna has only been for a relatively short period.

This Otway Forests facts Pack has been compiled to assist groups and individuals in making a public submission to VEAC on the Angahook – Otway Investigation. The Victorian State Government has a policy to end logging in the Otways by 2008, and to extend the Otway National Park. The current VEAC investigation has much importance in determining the boundaries of an extended Otway Reserve System and OREN urges all who care for the Otways forest and want to see it protected in a National Park to make a VEAC submission, The Otway Forests Facts File outlines forest values and contains a number of maps, statistics and references to assist you in writing a VEAC submission. VEAC : Angahook- Otway Investigation Pursuant to section 15 of the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council Act 2001 (the VEAC act), the Minister for Environment has amended the request to VEAC made by the former Minister for Environment and Conservation concerning the Angahook-Lorne State Park dated 8 September 2002. (a)VEAC is now requested to carry out an investigation of the public land landward of low water mark within the Otway Ranges area shown on the accompanying plan.
