CDFW priority conservation actions for eastern California fishes

[WB Staff]

Under California’s State Wildlife Action Plan, also known as SWAP, a team from CDFW’s Inland Deserts Region is implementing priority conservation actions for eastern California fishes. One such priority is to conserve unarmored threespine stickleback and support recovery efforts by establishing a new population at Bluff Lake Reserve. The long-term goal at Bluff Lake is to establish a larger, more stable population that can preserve existing genetic diversity and be used as a source population in future recovery efforts. Early success signs indicate that this population has a great chance for survival thanks to the hard-working CDFW Inland Desert team.
