Robust Redhorse Conservation Committee

The Robust Redhorse Conservation Committee was established in 1995 under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between state and federal resource agencies, private industry, and the conservation community in lieu of listing under the ESA. Partners to the robust redhorse recovery include thirteen signatory members to the MOU, two cooperating members under the MOU, and a variety of university research and resource management facilities as affiliate members. This group works together to provide an interdisciplinary conservation strategy and implementation for the Robust Redhorse with the goal of continued survival of the species.
