Coastal Barrier Resources System 2023 5-Year Review Maps

The Service published a notice in the Federal Register on August 16, 2023 (88 FR 55710), to announce the findings of our 5-year review and availability of final revised maps for 116 John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) units in Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. This fulfills a directive in the Coastal Barrier Resources Act that requires the Secretary of the Interior to review the CBRS maps at least once every 5 years and make such minor and technical modifications necessary to reflect changes in the size or location of the units as a result of natural forces.

Improving Fisheries Conservation

Working with its biologists across the country, the Fish and Aquatic Conservation program is reviewing the effectiveness, needs, and opportunities of their fish conservation efforts. These reviews identify areas for improvements in fish conservation efforts using existing resources and identify gaps that need to be addressed to restore fish populations to healthy conditions. This gap between a species’ current state and the desired conservation goal is the reason that these reviews are often referred to as gap analyses.Fish and Aquatic Conservation is using these reviews to find new opportunities for collaboration, build better blueprints for conservation success, and look for innovative solutions for conserving America’s fisheries.
