Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

Solar Oasis Pond (Cave Creek-Arizona Canal Diversion Channel) COA

The Spur Cross Solar Oasis management unit will be managed for self-sustaining populations of Gila topminnow, longfin dace, Sonora mud turtle, and native amphibians. The topminnow population should be monitored at least once every three years. Every 5-10 years more topminnow should be added to maintain genetic variation.
