Final Recovery Plan, Bexar County
Karst Invertebrates
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of document availability.
AGENCY:
We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service, announce the availability of our
final recovery plan, for the nine Bexar
County Karst Invertebrates under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). These species occur in
Bexar County, Texas.
ADDRESSES: You may download the
recovery plan from the internet at http:
//www.fws.gov/endangered/species/
recovery-plans.html, or you may obtain
a copy from Cyndee Watson, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, 10711 Burnet

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Recovering endangered or threatened
animals and plants to the point where
they are again secure, self-sustaining
members of their ecosystems is a
primary goal of our endangered species
program and the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.). Recovery means improvement of
the status of listed species to the point
at which listing is no longer appropriate
under the criteria set out in section
4(a)(1) of the Act. The Act requires the
development of recovery plans for listed
species, unless such a plan would not
promote the conservation of a particular
species.
61379
Final Recovery Plan
The final recovery plan includes
scientific information about the species
and provides objectives and actions
needed to recover the Bexar County
karst invertebrates and to ultimately
remove them from the list of threatened
and endangered species. It also has
incorporated public and peer review
comments as applicable. Recovery
actions designed to achieve these
objectives include reducing threats to
the species by securing an adequate
quantity and quality of habitat. This
includes selecting caves or cave clusters
that represent the range of the species
and potential genetic diversity for the
nine species, and then preserving these
karst habitats, including their drainage
basins and surface communities upon
which they rely. Some of the changes
from the draft recovery plan include
changes in the acreage requirements for
medium and high quality preserves as
well as the configuration of the
preserves required to meet the recovery
criteria. Because many aspects of the
population dynamics and habitat
requirements of the species are poorly
understood, recovery is also dependant
on incorporating research findings into
adaptive management actions. Because
three of these species are known to
occur in only one cave, full recovery
may not be possible for these species.
Authority
We developed our final recovery plan
under the authority of section 4(f) of the
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1533(f). We publish this
notice under section 4(f) Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.
Dated: September 13, 2011.

Acting Regional Director, Southwest Region,
Fish and Wildlife Service.
