1) Improve production of interior least tern and piping plover
from the central Platte River� Increase nesting pairs
� Increase fledge ratios
� Decrease adult mortality by reducing predation
2) Improve survival of whooping cranes during migration2) Improve survival of whooping cranes during migration� Increase habitat availability on central Platte River (area of suitable roosting
habitat and foraging habitat, proportion of population, crane use days)
3) Avoid adverse impacts from Program actions on pallid
sturgeon populations� No indicators identified; further research needed
4) Within overall objectives 1-3, provide benefits to non-target
listed species and non-listed species of concern and reduce
likelihood of future listings� Increase habitat availability on central Platte River
