Opis

The Colorado River Delta (CRD) is only 8% of its§original size and is §mainly sustained on agricultural run-off.§Ecosystem-based §management (EBM), the process of controlling human§activities to §protect, conserve, and enhance the quality of§ecosystems to meet §current and future needs, provides a way forward.§This study §uses nine common EBM principles to analyze§legislation, research, §management plans, and community actions of six major CRD §institutions, establishing a governance baseline. §Specific resulting §recommendations include extending Intentionally §Created Surplus to Mexico, testing Mexico s National§Water Law §amendments, and adding a Minute to the U.S.-Mexico§Water Treaty §to make EBM functional. Furthermore, the EBM§principles of §ecosystem valuation, the precautionary approach, and§adaptive §management can be made more operable through cooperative §restoration, experimentation, and demonstration,§strengthening the §CRD governance system. There is currently a window of§opportunity §to dedicate an instream flow to the CRD and encourage§EBM.
