In August 2002, the Conservation Strategy for Tahoe yellow cress was finalized, and it has guided the adaptive management and conservation of TYC for more than 12 years. This revised Conservation Strategy for Tahoe yellow cress will improve TYC adaptive management and continue the cooperation and conservation initiated in 2002.
TYC management goals and objectives have been modified to accommodate the different management approaches required on public and private property and to reflect a shift away from promoting the metapopulation dynamic of the species and toward managing persistence.

Threshold Categories
-
Tahoe yellow cress will always be a rare plant because it occurs only on the shores of a single lake, Lake Tahoe. The degree of endangerment to the species in this high profile habitat depends on a host of factors, many of which can be managed on some level.

| 07/30/2017 7:33 PM | Kiara Cuerpo-Hadsall | Objectives: Our primary goal was to ensure that the critical work of the Tahoe yellow cress AMWG can continue and that the MOU to implement the Conservation Strategy is renewed by January, 2013. To reach these goals we proposed the following objectives: • Synthesize results of field based research conducted between 2003 and 2010 • Update the conceptual model of TYC population dynamics • Evaluate and update indicators in the CS • Develop a geo-database for data management and analysis Recommend new management tools including restoration and mitigation tools. |

| 07/30/2017 7:32 PM | Kiara Cuerpo-Hadsall | Findings and Management Implications: -The Executive Committee approved revision of the August, 2002 Conservation Strategy for Tahoe yellow cress (CS2002) in 2012 with expectations that this revised Conservation Strategy for Tahoe yellow cress (CS2015) will improve TYC adaptive management and continue the cooperation and conservation for another 10 years. -Forty four percent of the 50 TYC survey sites occur on private lands (see Table 7.1); therefore, TYC cannot be fully protected without stewardship by private landowners. -The number of colonizations is now equal to or greater than extirpations and suggests the species is resilient to fluctuations in lake elevation, by either persisting or re-colonizing when conditions become favorable. -When existing populations are destroyed or must be removed, translocation is a viable option for mitigation of these impacts, but using container-grown stock gives a greater pay-off of increased growth and seed output. -Container-grown TYC plants can also be used in greater numbers and therefore can ensure a higher probability of success. -Knowledge gaps about TYC continue to be addressed by a key management question framework that has successfully brought new information from research into management direction (e.g., container grown plants have equal genetic diversity to native occurrences and may be utilized for mitigation purposes). |
