Regular surveys are carried out of the spring site to observe the three endangered species, and when a 2009 survey found most springs dry, and the only one with water to contain no crayfish, it was considered as being extinct in 2010.[2] Further surveys, looking for fish, led to its rediscovery in September 2012.[1][4]
