Goal: Maintain existing Shaw's agave occurrences to ensure multiple conserved occurrences with self sustaining populations to increase resilience to environmental and demographic stochasticity and improve chances of persistence over the long term (>100 years) in coastal bluff, coastal sage scrub, and Torrey pine forest vegetation communities.
Management units: 1, 6, 7
In 2021, inspect extant Shaw's agave occurrences on Conserved Lands (see occurrence table) using the regional rare plant IMG monitoring protocol to record abundance and collect habitat and threats covariate data to determine management needs.

Management units: 1, 6, 7
Beginning in 2017, conduct routine management actions as identified through the IMG monitoring conducted in 2016 and 2021 at Shaw's agave occurrences on Conserved Lands (see occurrence table). Depending on the type and level of threat, management should be conducted as needed, not necessarily every year, and using BMPs with precautions to do no harm.
