2 Rangewide Need for CPP? Conservation Propagation Program (CPP) Recovery Plan - Recommends study to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of using artificial propagation in bull trout recovery USFWS HRT recommendation Facility should Implement a bull trout recovery program

3 Local Need? Mid-Columbia Recovery Implementation Plan (RUIP) Recovery Task #4.2.7 RUIP recommends development of a feasibility assessment for reintroduction and translocation Yakima Action Plan (AP) Multiple Population Action #4 AP recommends development of a feasibility assessment to evaluate supplementation, transplantation, and Reintroduction
