SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the

policy of the Fish and Wildlife Service

to have all lands within the National

Wildlife Refuge System managed in

accordance with an approved

Comprehensive Conservation Plan. The

plan guides management decisions and

identifies the goals, objectives, and

strategies for achieving refuge purposes.

Public input into this planning process

is encouraged. The plan will provide

other agencies and the public with a

clear understanding of the desired

conditions of the refuge and how the

Service will implement the management

strategies. Some of the issues to be

addressed in these plans include the

following:

(a) Public use management;

(b) Habitat management;

(c) Wildlife population management;

and

(d) Cultural resource identification

and protection.

Alternatives that address the issues

and management strategies associated

with these topics will be included in the

environmental documents.

Pre-planning for both Cedar Island

and Pea Island National Wildlife

Refuges began in January 2000. Pea

Island National Wildlife Refuge was

established by Presidential Executive

Order 7864 in April 1938, as a refuge

and breeding ground for migratory birds

and other wildlife; and Cedar Island

National Wildlife Refuge was authorized

by the Migratory Bird Conservation Act

in August 1964, for use as an inviolate

sanctuary, or for other management

purposes, for migratory birds.
