Description: The Roswell Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for the management of several springs and wetlands within the central southeastern section of the state. The Clean Water Act requires the preservation and restoration of aquatic resources, but neither of these goals can be accomplished without baseline data for the establishment of management programs. On behalf of the Roswell Field Office, the New Mexico Natural Heritage Program conducted a survey of aquatic/wetland vegetation and macro-invertebrates within a selected group of fishwater springs under BLM jurisdiction. This report includes a discussion of the survey results plus reports for each spring containing documentary photographs, precise location maps, summary descriptions, and plant and macro-invertebrate species list. There are also appendices containing a complete description of the Pecos sunflower and comprehensive plant species list.
