The following Comprehensive Conservation Plans have been prepared for the Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges, located in Levy and Dixie Counties, Florida. Their purposes are to identify the roles the refuges will play to support the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System and the North Florida Ecosystem. The plans outline issues, concerns, and opportunities expressed to the Service during a series of public scoping meetings, workshops, and on comment sheets. They also provide a description of desired future conditions and propose long-range guidance to accomplish the purposes, missions, and visions of the refuges. This guidance is presented for each refuge in a listing of goals, objectives, and strategies resulting from an analysis of possible management alternatives. The final plans will serve as operational guides for management of these refuges over the next 10 to 15 years.
Contained in this Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for Lower Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge are the proposed management actions and direction for the refuge over the next 15 years. When fully implemented, this plan would strive to achieve the vision, goals, and objectives for the refuge developed by a planning team of representatives of government and private groups, as well as private individuals. Overriding considerations reflected in the plan are that fish and wildlife conservation requires first priority in refuge management and that wildlife-dependent recreation is allowed and encouraged as long as it is compatible with, or does not detract from, the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System or the purpose for which the refuge was established.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service prepared this Comprehensive Conservation Plan to guide the management of three national wildlife refuges in the Florida Keys, as mandated by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997. The refuges include Key West, Great White Heron, and National Key Deer Refuges.
