This document is a draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan and draft Environmental Assessment (CCP/EA) for Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge (Jarvis). Once finalized, the CCP would guide management of refuge operations, site visitation, and habitat restoration for the 15-year life of the plan. Guidance within the CCP would be in the form of goals, objectives, strategies (Chapter 1.7 and 2.6), and wilderness study findings (Appendix F). The CCP will be accompanied by an appropriate NEPA document. The final CCP will be revised as appropriate based upon public comments. The proposed action can be one of the alternatives in this draft CCP/EA, a combination of the identified alternatives, or a new alternative derived from substantive public comment. This draft CCP/EA evaluates and compares four alternatives containing programs for habitat management and restoration, ecological monitoring and research, and environmental education. It also identifies the effects of restoration and visitor use on key physical, biological, social, and cultural resources. The refuge manager of the Pacific Remote Islands National Wildlife Refuge Complex (Remotes Complex) in Honolulu, Hawaii, is responsible for implementing the approved CCP.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has developed this Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan to provide a foundation for the management and use of Sandy Point, Green Cay, and Buck Island national wildlife refuges, which are located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The plan is intended to serve as a working guide for the three refuges' management programs and actions over the next 15 years. Fish and wildlife conservation will receive the first priority in refuge management. Wildlife-dependent recreational activities will be allowed and encouraged as long as they are compatible with-and do not detract from- the missions of the refuges or the purposes for which they were established. The plan was prepared in compliance with the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 and Part 602 (National Wildlife Refuge System Planning) of the Fish and Wildlife Service Manual. The plan also meets the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) through the inclusion of an Environmental Assessment (Section B), which describes the alternatives that are being considered and their potential effects on the environment.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service prepared this Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment to guide the management of Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge in Currituck County, North Carolina, and Virginia Beach, Virginia. The plan outlines programs and corresponding resource needs for the next 15 years, as mandated by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997.
The purpose of the Draft CCP/EA is to develop a proposed action that best achieves the refuge purpose; attains the vision and goals developed for the refuge; contributes to National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System) mission; addresses key problems, issues and relevant mandates; and is consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management.
