Arkansas-Red-White Rivers Sub-Basin Annual Summary Reports

At the end of each calendar year, the cooperating agencies in the Arkansas-Red-White Rivers Sub-Basin Partnership prepare reports to summarize the progress and results of each project that received U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) funding assistance and was described in the previous year’s annual Monitoring and Response Plan. Annual Summary Reports are available in approximately April of the following year. The Arkansas-Red-White Rivers Sub-Basin Partnership received USFWS funding assistance to implement high priority projects in support of the sub-basin’s Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework and the National Asian Carp Management and Control Plan for the first time in 2020. Project proposals were developed and submitted through MICRA to the USFWS for funding consideration. Project work plans were developed for each approved project receiving USFWS funding assistance and are included in the 2020 Mississippi River Basin Monitoring and Response Plan. Some projects were initiated in late 2020, however the majority of the projects are being implemented through 2021. Therefore, the first Annual Summary Reports describing progress and results of projects implemented by the Arkansas-Red-White Rivers Sub-Basin Partnership will be available in early 2022.
