This synthesis paper, developed from the RTT Analysis Workshop, summarizes deliberations and recommendations for UC Watershed Action Teams. It addresses challenges of capturing and conveying scientific information to diverse audiences and offers insights on key management questions with limited data. The document is structured in five chapters covering species and habitat status, implementation issues, and identifying data gaps for effective watershed action. The purpose is to consolidate workshop outcomes and facilitate communication among stakeholders involved in watershed recovery efforts.
