Description: This data set identifies Management Zones to be used in work for the USFWS 2015 Status Review for the greater sage-grouse. Management Zone boundaries in this data set were slightly adjusted from the 2006 WAFWA Management Zone data set. Outer boundaries were adjusted to include all PACs and Populations from the ‘GRSG_2015_USFWS_StatusReview_Populations’ data set. Management Zone boundaries dividing populations were adjusted to match Population boundaries from the ‘GRSG_2015_USFWS_StatusReview_Populations’ data set. See the Supplemental Information for more details.
