RECOVERY ACTION PLAN STRUCTURE. The substance of the RIPRAP is in Section 4.0, the Recovery Action Plans. It is here that the specific recovery actions are listed. The first Recovery Action Plan identifies general recovery program support activities important to the success of the Recovery Program. The following two Recovery Action Plans are for the Green and Colorado rivers and their subbasins in the Upper Basin. Each action plan is arranged by specific activities to be accomplished within the "recovery elements" listed below:
I. Identify and protect instream flows;
II. Restore and protect habitat;
III. Reduce negative impacts of nonnative fishes and sportfish management activities;

RECOVERY ACTION PLAN STRUCTURE. The substance of the RIPRAP is in Section 4.0, where the specific recovery actions are listed in the RIPRAP tables. In addition, significant accomplishments and shortcomings of the past year are identified in the RIPRAP tables, developed as part of the Recovery Program’s annual assessment and update of the RIPRAP. The RIPRAP tables schedule activities through 2023 (the Recovery Program’s Cooperative Agreement is effective through September 30, 2023). Activities that have led to recovery of the endangered fishes will need to be continued after these species are delisted. Therefore, the RIPRAP tables identify the activities that Program participants anticipate will continue post-Program. The first section of the Recovery Action Plan tables identifies general support activities important to the success of the Recovery Program. The subsequent sections that follow the General Recovery Action Plan are for the Green and Colorado rivers and their subbasins in the Upper Basin. Each subbasin table includes recovery actions arranged by the "recovery elements" listed below:
I. Identify and protect instream flows;
II. Restore and protect habitat;
III. Reduce negative impacts of nonnative fishes and sportfish management activities;

II. Restore and protect habitat;
III. Reduce negative impacts of nonnative fishes and sportfish management activities;
IV. Conserve genetic integrity and augment or restore populations;
V. Monitor populations and habitat and conduct research to support recovery actions;
VI. Increase public awareness and support for the endangered fishes and the Recovery Program(in the General Recovery Program Support Action Plan only); and
VII. Provide program planning and support (in the General Recovery Program Support Action Plan only). The Recovery Action Plans (Section 4.0) have been formatted as tables for ease of scheduling and tracking activities. A general discussion of activities under each recovery element and of recovery priorities in each subbasin is found in Sections 2.0 and 3.0, respectively.
