DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 

Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan 

and Finding of No Significant Impact for 

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in 

Charlton, Ware, and Clinch Counties, 

Georgia, and Baker County, Florida. 

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service 

announces that a Final Comprehensive 

Conservation Plan and Finding of No 

Significant Impact for Okefenokee 

National Wildlife Refuge are available 

for distribution. The plan was prepared 

pursuant to the National Wildlife Refuge 

System Improvement Act of 1997, and 

in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and 

describes how the refuge will be 

managed for the next 15 years. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of the plan may be 

obtained by writing to George 

Constantino, Refuge Manager, 

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, 

Route 2, Box 3330, Folkston, Georgia 

31537; or by calling 912/496–7366. The 

plan may also be accessed and 

downloaded from the Service’s Internet 

Web site http://southeast.fws.gov/ 

planning/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

availability of the draft comprehensive 

conservation plan and environmental 

assessment for a 45-day review period 

was announced in the Federal Register 

on August 2, 2005 (70 FR 44355). The 

draft plan and environmental 

assessment evaluated four alternatives 

for managing the refuge and Alternative 

2, ‘‘Integrated Landscape Management,’’

was selected as the preferred alternative 

to guide management direction over the 

next 15 years. 

Under Alternative 2, landscape 

management will be emphasized. 

Threats to the refuge are more 

prominent as development increases in 

northeast Florida and southeast Georgia. 

Although Okefenokee Refuge is a large 

system in itself, it can be greatly 

compromised by activities a distance 

away from its boundary. Under this 

alternative, the staff will extend beyond 

the immediate neighbors to address 

issues associated with the aquifer, air 

shed, and biota exchange pathways. 

Extensive resources sharing and 

networking with other refuges, state 

agencies, organizations, specialists, 

researchers, and private citizens will 

expand the knowledge base and assist in 

developing cooperation between interest 

groups. Restoration of natural systems, 

native communities, and healthy 

environments will be emphasized, thus 

promoting a high quality of life 

regionally. Within the refuge, the 

original refuge purpose, natural 

processes, and the wilderness 

philosophy will be strongly considered 

in all decisions. Monitoring 

environmental parameters, fauna, and 

flora will be incorporated into an 

integrated study to gain knowledge on 

the health of the Okefenokee ecosystem. 

The refuge and surrounding area will be 

promoted, linking recreational and 

educational avenues. Education and 

outreach will be expanded with an 

emphasis on the health of the whole 

ecosystem and the links between the 

components.

Approximately 371,000 acres of the 

Okefenokee Swamp wetlands are 

incorporated into the refuge; and 

353,981 acres within the swamp were 

designated as wilderness by the 

Okefenokee Wilderness Act of 1974, 

making it the third largest National 

Wilderness Area east of the Mississippi 

River. In 1986, Okefenokee Refuge was 

designated by the Wetlands Convention 

as a Wetland of International 

Importance. 

The swamp is considered the 

headwaters of the Suwannee and St. 

Marys Rivers. Habitats provide for 

threatened and endangered species, 

such as red-cockaded woodpeckers, 

wood storks, indigo snakes, and a wide 

variety of other wildlife species. It is 

world renowned for its amphibian 

populations that are bio-indicators of 

global health. By combining Okefenokee 

Refuge with Osceola National Forest, 

private timberlands, and state-owned 

forests, more than 1 million contiguous 

acres provide wildlife habitat and 

recreational opportunities. Nearly 

400,000 people visit Okefenokee Refuge 

each year making it the 16th most 

visited refuge in the National Wildlife 

Refuge System. In 1999, the economic 

impact of tourists in Charlton, Ware, 

and Clinch Counties in Georgia was 

more than $67 million. 

Implementing the comprehensive 

conservation plan will enable the refuge 

to fulfill its critical role in the 

conservation and management of fish 

and wildlife resources within southeast 

Georgia, maintain wilderness qualities, 

and provide quality environmental 

education and wildlife-dependent 

recreation opportunities for refuge 

visitors.
