Summary

Description

This Comprehensive Conservation Plan CCP will guide management on Selawik NWR for the next 15 years.

This plan provides an introduction to the Refuge, an overview of the CCP process, goals and objectives, a description of the affected environment, environmental consequences, and strategies for implementation and monitoring. Key issues include: fish and wildlife management, transportation, hunting, public use, climate change, water quality and quantity, and outreach.
