Conservation Assessment and Mapping Products for Rio Grande Fishes: Initiate partner meetings to identify and facilitate partners and area experts to coordinate and approve species lists, species priority weighting, and assessment parameterization; 2) Species and environmental data collection and normalization. Using products from Cohen et al. 2013, expand to cover gaps in species data, improvement of models (if needed), and necessary environmental coverages; 3) Assessment tool build, parameterization, and testing. Multiple iterations will be performed to ensure initial parameterization choices and data inclusion produce intuitive results. These preliminary model runs will be passed among project personnel and collaborators for comment and approval; 4) Final model build; and 5) A final report will be provided to project partners, and necessary presentations and webinars will be provided to disseminate and discuss results. Partner and stakeholder feedback will be documented to provide a roadmap for assessment augmentation.
