Nevada and California wildlife commissions to meet jointly

The Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners and California Fish and Game Commission will meet jointly today at the North Tahoe Conference Center in Kings Beach.

The two agencies hold a bi-state meeting every few years. This year’s meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. when agency directors will provide overviews of each state’s wildlife agency.

Other topics on the agenda include Tahoe bear management, interstate mule deer management, and a report on the status of invasive species and management of quagga mussel, New Zealand mud snail and Barramundi.

Staff will provide a report on the status of greater sage-grouse management in Nevada and California, with a review of petitions for listing the bird under the Endangered Species Act and conservation planning efforts which have been initiated for populations living in the California/Nevada state line areas.
