Statement of Mutual Benefits. NMFS and FWS have a well-established history of working collaboratively on seabird conservation activities and believe that an MOU can further strengthen this work. Although the FWS has primary responsibility for migratory birds in the United States, NMFS manages some human activities that affect migratory birds-- primarily fishing activities in U.S. waters and in U.S. fisheries on the high seas. NMFS’ activities and policies relate to ensuring the long-term sustainability of fisheries by taking into account habitat conservation issues and by making decisions based upon the best scientific information available. NMFS’ policies and activities may therefore affect migratory birds, particularly seabirds, and their prey. FWS and NMFS agree that migratory birds are important components of biological diversity and that their conservation and management will help sustain ecological integrity. Furthermore, both Parties agree that migratory birds are important economically, and recreational activities associated with migratory birds contribute to the economic base of many communities. Both Parties will take this into consideration, to the extent practicable, when taking actions to avoid take or, to the extent take cannot be avoided, to minimize take of seabirds. Two important issues surrounding the conservation of migratory birds are: (1) the interaction between fishery operations and birds, especially seabirds; and (2) the maintenance of healthy habitats and prey populations for foraging and breeding seabirds. This MOU provides a broad outline of collaborative and proactive ways to promote the conservation of migratory birds and avoid or, where take cannot be avoided, minimize to the extent practicable the potential measureable negative effects that NMFS actions may have on seabird populations. FWS and NMFS mutually agree that it is important to: (1) conserve migratory bird populations and their habitats; (2) recognize that actions taken to benefit some migratory bird populations may adversely affect other migratory bird populations; (3) recognize that actions that may provide long-term benefits to migratory bird populations may have short-term negative impacts on individual birds; (4) recognize that restoration of migratory bird populations and habitats can be a long-term endeavor; and (5) recognize that in certain instances, recovery actions for ESA- listed fish species may include management of predation by seabirds. Furthermore, the Parties mutually agree that...

Statement of Mutual Benefits. The Parachute Pond SWA is owned and managed by CPW to provide access for fishing, wildlife viewing, and river access. Adjacent to the SWA, TOP owns and maintains Cottonwood Park for recreational use including basketball, dog walking, and community gatherings. A small gravel parking lot owned by CPW separates the SWA from Cottonwood Park and is often used by recreational users of both the SWA and the community park. Since the parking lot is part of Parachute SWA, a CPW annual access pass or valid hunting/fishing license is required to enter upon or park in this specific area. TOP and CPW maintain a cooperative agreement by which TOP maintains and is responsible for the gravel parking area and trash receptacles on the SWA. Expansion of this agreement to exclude users of TOP’s Cottonwood Park from CPW’s requirement for an access pass or valid license at Parachute Pond SWA will benefit the missions of both entities by encouraging outdoor recreation and local tourism. The CPW and the TOP enjoy a good working relationship and each depends on other community partners to achieve their respective missions. Continued growth and development of rural Colorado, increased statewide tourism promotion, local tourism promotion, ensuring natural resource and wildlife conservation, and consequent increases in public lands recreation-tourism use on public lands would be achieved with the adoption of this agreement between CPW and TOP. To this end, the parties to this agreement agree to work together to cooperatively manage and encourage the recreation use at Parachute SWA and Cottonwood Park, according to the following principles:

Statement of Mutual Benefits. It is the VRC’s vision to have a thriving Lower Virgin River watershed that provides multiple uses for people and nature, maintained and restored through public and private collaboration, from now into the future. To achieve the vision above we intend to adhere to a mission of developing strategies, identifying partnerships, facilitating implementation and evaluating progress to improve the human values and ecological health of the Virgin River for future generations of residents, businesses, recreational users, farmers and ranchers. To guide the mission, the VRC will develop a Watershed Plan. The Plan shall be a living document and initially will focus on four targets identified by the VRC:
