Report on the progress of recovery strategy implementation for the hotwater physa (Physella wrighti) in Canada for the period 2007-2015 .: En3-4/17-1-2016E-PDF

“The Hotwater Physa (Physella wrighti) was assessed as Endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) in 1998 and 2000, and subsequently listed under the Species at Risk Act as Endangered in June of 2003. In January of 2007 a final Recovery Strategy was posted to the Species at Risk Public Registry. The species’ COSEWIC status was re-assessed and confirmed as Endangered in 2008 (COSEWIC 2008). The recovery goal for Hotwater Physa as identified in the Recovery Strategy is to “maintain and protect the population(s) of Hotwater Physa within its natural geographic range and within its current variation of abundance at the Liard River hotsprings complex.” This report documents the progress of Recovery Strategy implementation for Hotwater Physa. It summarizes progress that Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Province of British Columbia’s Ministry of Environment, and other interested parties have made towards achieving the goal and objectives set out in the Recovery Strategy, including: conducting new research and monitoring activities (including advancing studies to support the identification of critical habitat); and completing management activities that help Canadians reduce impacts on, and better understand the threats to, Hotwater Physa”--Executive summary.
