Description

This report sets out 36 habitat action recommendations, in priority order, and 9 related recommendations, unranked, to meet the Services objectives for 9 important waterfowl species of special emphasis. Four priorities were also discussed, including: develop and implement a 10year program for the protection and enhancement of waterfowl habitat; identify sources of mortality and determine their significance as barriers to achieving National SSE objectives; regulate harvest of waterfowl to achieve the objectives for breeding population numbers, fall flight numbers, and harvest numbers as specified in SSE plans; and manage appropriate FWS Refuges and WPAs in waterfowl breeding ranges to increase annual recruitment rates for SSE.
