CANDIDATE CONSERVATION AGREEMENT WITH ASSURANCES FOR ARCTIC GRAYLING IN THE CENTENNIAL VALLEY, MONTANAConservation Agreement • September 18th, 2018
Arctic grayling were historically widespread but patchily distributed throughout the upper Missouri River basin above Great Falls, Montana. Distribution and abundance of Arctic grayling in the basin has declined since the late 1800s in response to land use changes and natural factors. This decline led to formal consideration for listing Arctic grayling under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the 1990s. Conservation efforts by federal and state agencies, private landowners and conservation groups have improved the resiliency, redundancy, and representation of Arctic grayling over the past 30 years. As a result, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) determined Arctic grayling were not warranted for protection under the ESA in 2014. However, Arctic grayling remain a Species of Concern in Montana (Montana State Wildlife Action Plan 2105), and conservation efforts continue to be a focus of resource agencies, non-governmental conservation organization, and private landowners.
