Enhance fishing on Guam by:

1. Maintaining and repairing boat ramps and piers at Agana Boat Basin, Agat Marina, and Merizo Pier.
2. Studying the feasibility of building new ramps around the island (i.e. Ylig River, Inarajan Bay).
3. Maintaining, preserving, and replacing the 14 fish aggregating devices (FADs) located between 3.5 and 12 miles off the island of Guam, on an annual basis.
4. Constructing, maintaining and repairing 5 fishing platforms located on the reef flats of Talofofo, Ylig, and Togcha Bays.
5. Constructing and maintaining a freshwater fishing facility at Masso Reservoir.
6. Continuing to work with the US Navy regarding public access to Fena Resevoir.

Monitor the effectiveness of Marine Preserves at restoring reef fish stocks by:

1. Conducting fish counts and timed-swim counts on 36 permanent transects located in reef flat and lagoon habitats in Achang Reef Flat Marine Preserve, Piti Bomb Holes Marine Preserve, Asan Bay, Pago Bay, and Cocos Lagoon, and
2. Conducting fish counts, timed-swim counts, and video transects on 32 permanent transects located at the 20', 30', 40', and 50' depth contours of the fore reef slopes in Achang Reef Flat Marine Preserve, Piti Bomb Holes Marine Preserve, Asan Bay, and the backside of Cocos Lagoon
3. Annually, to establish a baseline and subsequently compare data consisting of reef fish density estimates, species composition, size-class distribution, and substrate composition.

Protect water quality, coral reef habitat, and freshwater ecosystems by:

1. Reviewing land-use permits annually as needed
2. Participating on committees devoted to such issues as watershed restoration, Guam seashore reserve plan development, wildlife recovery and rehabilitation in the event of an oil spill, etc
3. Installing pumpout facilities at the 2 largest public marinas
4. Installing and maintaining 34 shallow water moorings and studying the feasibility of establishing new buoys, especially in Piti Bomb Holes marine Preserve and Tumon Bay Marine Preserve, in order to prevent anchor damage to coral reef ecosystems
   

Educate all segments of the public about the importance of conserving aquatic resources by:

1. Conducting 30-40 school and community presentations annually
2. Conducting 2 kid's fishing derbies annually
3. Producing posters, brochures, videos, and CD-ROMs as needed
4. Establishing a Guam based sea turtle working group of stakeholders in the management of sea turtles and ensure they have an active voice and opportunity to support recovery efforts. This group will include the Government of Guam, the U.S. Airforce, the U.S. Navy, NMFS, the USFWS Ecological Services and USFWS Refuges, and NGOs.
   

Develop management strategies using reliable data obtained from inshore, offshore, freshwater, and sea turtle surveys by:

1. Performing 192 surveys annually at the three largest boat launching facilities on island to obtain information including boating activity, fishermen participation, catch per unit effort, and species composition
2. Performing 192 surveys annually in 3 segments along the coastline of Guam to obtain information on fishermen participation, catch per unit effort, and species composition
3. Collecting abandoned gill nets as encountered from the reef flats of Guam in order to obtain data including species composition and weight of by-catch, and percent of coral damage
4. Surveying 7 rivers in 3 watersheds on Guam (including one that contains a dam) annually to obtain information on fish species density and composition for analysis and comparison between watersheds
5. Conducting a stock assessment, using electrofishing and mark-recapture methodology, over a five year period in Fena Lake, Guam, to obtain information on fish species composition and population structure
6. Collecting baseline population size structure (age and sex) and genetic information for sea turtles in and about Guam
7. Surveying Guam's beaches for sea turtle nesting activity for both species (green and hawksbill) throughout the nesting period
   

Address the impacts of invasive species on the native flora and fauna of Guam by:

1. Establishing a multi-agency work group including Government of Guam (i.e. Department of Agriculture, Port Authority, GEPA, Customs and Quarantine, University of Guam, Commerce/GEDA, Attorney General, etc.), USDA, USFWS, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and members of the private sector.
2. Defining "invasive species" and determining negative impacts (i.e. review literature, conduct research).
3. Drafting legislation to implement a uniform policy regarding invasive species.
