Current Management
Globally the status of the I. greeleyi is "Apparently secure". Further, the short-term trend for the species complies with the stability of the species. Most of the decline probably happened years ago. However,in the long-term there has been a 30-70% decline and some extirpation (NatureServe). In 10 states I. greeleyi is considered vulnerable, imperiled, or critically imperiled. I. greeleyi and I. bdellium have similar statuses which is not surprising considering they inhabit most of the same streams. The major cause of this decline is habitat destruction due to dams, pollution, and siltation (www.naturalheritage.state.pa.us/factsheet).

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or management:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
