Narrative - Preserve and protect the known lotis blue butterfly population and and newly discovered and/or established sites. The lotis blue butterfly is now known from only one site. The Service should investigate the feasibility of an agreement with the landowner of the lotis blue butterfly's habitat and the owners of the adjacent lands to insure the preservation of lotis blue butterfly's habitat. A Land Protection Plan should be developed to investigate a1 1 options to protect habitat within the historic range. Coordination with local governments, including Cal i fornia Coastal Commission and nearby 1 and owners, wi 11 be necessary to insure preservation'of the site. Any changes in land use practices at the site should be deferred until foodplants and habitat requirements are identified and are better u nde rs tood . Preservation and protection of the lotis blue butterfly site include maintenance of the vegetation at the site, prevention of land use changes and minimizing the use of herbicides and insecticides on or within drift distance of the site. It is absolutely vital to the success of this recovery plan that the only known habitat for LBB be preserved.
