Moab Business Alliance Initiative

Tamarisk Eradication Along the Moab Daily

Vision

Care for the Colorado River Corridor upstream from Moab and encourage collaborative relationships between river companies.

 

Goal

Make the Moab Daily section of the Colorado River tamarisk-free; exploit this by marketing the Daily as an opportunity to see the Colorado River as it should be – tamarisk free!

 

How This Initiative Fits the Mission

This initiative cares for the natural resources of our area, and encourages collaboration within the river company business sector through a project that benefits everyone.

 

Discussion

Tamarisk eradication is very possible on this limited stretch of the river. Perhaps each river company could adopt one beach, as a way to start the project, and keep it tamarisk free. Each company could employ everyone within their company for 2 days per year, and the Moab Business Alliance dues could pay employees for the first 2 years of the project. After this, there will ideally be fewer tamarisks, and therefore, less work to do.
