| The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers public land containing four springs which comprise habitat for two endangered pupfish subspecies. The BLM is responsible for the pupfishes' habitat, though it has no authority over water resources, or the fishes themselves. Intensive water pumpage for agricultural demands is reducing spring flows. Efforts by BLM to maintain and improve the pupfishes' habitat are described. |
