Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

Turkey Creek (Babocomari R) COA

Surveys of stock tanks above Turkey Creek are a management priority. Past research indicates they are a source of non-native fish into Turkey Creek during high precipitation periods. Coordination with private landowners and subsequent sampling will determine if they still contain non-natives. No meaningful aquatic species management can take place in Turkey Creek until then.
