Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 15, 2010 / Notices 56135 

current slate of public use 

opportunities. All purposes of the 

refuges and mandated monitoring of 

Federal trust species and archaeological 

resources would be continued, but other 

wildlife management would be mostly 

performed on an incidental basis. 

This alternative would utilize a 

custodial habitat management strategy. 

Impoundments, beaches, wetlands, 

open waters, forested habitats, scrub/ 

shrub habitats, grasslands, and open 

lands would not be actively managed 

and would allow natural disturbance to 

maintain succession, unless the habitat 

primarily focuses on the needs of 

threatened and endangered species or 

the needs of priority species, such as 

migratory birds. Fire management 

would be reduced to include wildfire 

response only. 

We would continue mandated 

activities for protection of federally 

listed species. Conservation of federally 

listed threatened and endangered 

species would be continued primarily 

through established partnership and 

research projects. 

Current management of migratory 

birds would continue to provide 

suitable habitat for waterfowl. Climate 

control changes and sea level rise would 

continue to be monitored on an 

opportunistic basis, with very little or 

no adaptive habitat management. We 

would control invasive and exotic plant 

and animal species on an opportunistic 

basis as resources allow. This limited 

control would be performed by 

chemical and/or mechanical means, but 

would remain intermittent. We would 

maintain the current levels of wildlifedependent recreation activities. Public 

use facilities would continue to be 

maintained, as would the current visitor 

services program. 

Law enforcement officers would be 

added to the staff to increase emphasis 

on resource protection and public 

safety. This includes being designated to 

uphold current regulations and for 

protection of wildlife, visitors, and 

cultural and historical resources. We 

would maintain the Complex as 

resources allow. No additional land 

acquisition would be pursued under 

this alternative.
