Reintroduction. Covered activities for the purpose of introduction, reintroduction, augmentation, and translocations of covered species include: • Marking and tagging • Handling and transporting • Releasing into the wild on enrolled lands • Surveying and assessing to determine suitability of release site These activities are summarized below and are detailed in associated KDWP protocols and propagation plans. Introduction, reintroduction, augmentation, or translocations of the covered species will require transport and release of juveniles propagated in aquaculture facilities, or potentially adults and/or juveniles translocated from existing populations (source populations). (Captive rearing and/or collection of source individuals are not a covered activity for this SHA/CCAA Agreement. Any impacts on a source population resulting from aquaculture activities will be described under a separate Section 6(c) Cooperative Agreement between the Service and KDWP or a separate Section 10(a)(1)(A) research and recovery permit.) Hatchery-reared alligator snapping turtles will provide head-started individuals for reintroduction efforts, though adults and/or juveniles may also be captured for translocation from existing populations. All alligator snapping turtle individuals (either trapped or hatchery-reared) will be marked prior to release using a unique passive integrated transponder tag number for identification. Covered fish species from hatcheries will be reared to fry, fingerling, or adult life stages before transfer into live xxxxx for transport to reintroduction sites. Hatchery-reared fish, or covered fish species captured from existing populations, may be marked with visible implant, elastomer or passive integrate transponder tags and held in a live well until transported and released. Covered mussel species, whether from hatchery or from existing populations, will be marked with a unique identifier to track survival rates, growth, and other pertinent factors. Unique identifiers will include the use of laser engraving, permanent fixture of tag/label with approved adhesives, or similar techniques using current technology. To facilitate long-term monitoring, marks/tags will likely be placed in a part of the shell that receives the least abrasion and wear as the mussel grows (i.e., near the center of the shell, away from the umbo). In cases where marking is not possible (i.e., release of host fish bearing glochidia), periodic surveys to determine presence of juvenile mussels may...
Reintroduction. Upon full execution of this Landowner Management Agreement (Landowner Agreement), the enrolled land will be eligible to receive covered species. Reintroduction will be carried out by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) or its designee.
Reintroduction. The term “reintroduction” as used in the NBHCP refers to relocating individuals (or seeds or cysts, etc) of a Covered Species: (1). Either from one TNBC Reserve Site to another TNBC Reserve Site or from one location on a TNBC Reserve Site to a new location within the same TNBC Reserve Site; or (2) the relocation of an individual of a Covered Species from a site which will be impacted by Authorized Development to a TNBC Reserve Site to avoid, minimize or mitigate the impacts to Covered Species. The term “reintroduction” as used in the Natomas Basin HCP refers to the movement of animals or plants within the Basin and does not refer to the intentional introduction or recolonization of Covered Species from outside the Basin to inside the Basin.
