every 15 years in accordance with the 

Improvement Act. 

Mandalay NWR, approximately 5 

miles west of Houma, Louisiana, was 

established on May 2, 1996, with the 

purchase of 4,416 acres under the 

authority of the Migratory Bird 

Conservation Act of 1929 and the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973. The 

refuge, predominantly freshwater marsh 

and cypress-tupelo swamp, provides 

excellent habitat for waterfowl, wading 

birds, and neotropical songbirds. Access 

is by boat, except for the headquarters 

building on Highway 182 (Bayou Black 

Drive) and a nearby nature trail. 

Mandalay NWR is administered as one 

of eight refuges of the Southeast 

Louisiana NWR Complex, 

headquartered in Lacombe, Louisiana. 

CCP Alternatives, Including Our 

Proposed Alternative 

We developed three alternatives for 

managing the refuge and chose 

Alternative B as the proposed 

alternative. A full description is in the 

Draft CCP/EA. We summarize each 

alternative below. 

Alternative A—No Action Alternative 

Under this alternative, no new actions 

would be taken to improve or enhance 

the refuge’s current habitat, wildlife, 

and public use management programs. 

Species of Federal responsibility, such 

as threatened and endangered species 

and migratory birds, would continue to 

be monitored at present levels. 

Additional species monitoring would 

occur through the use of volunteers as 

they become available. Current 

programs of marsh management would 

be maintained. No progressive wetland 

restoration projects would be 

implemented. All public use programs 

of fishing, hunting, wildlife observation, 

wildlife photography, and 

environmental education and 

interpretation would continue at present 

levels and with current facilities. 

Acquisition of lands into the refuge 

would occur when funding is 

appropriated and willing sellers offer 

land that is quality waterfowl habitat. 

Staff would consist of a manager and a 

biologist for both Mandalay NWR and 

Bayou Teche NWR, along with 

supplementary support from the 

Southeast Louisiana NWR Complex staff 

when needed. The refuge headquarters 

would serve as an administrative office, 

with no enhancement of the grounds for 

public use. 

Alternative B—Natural Resource 

Management (Proposed Alternative) 

Alternative B would emphasize 

management of the natural resources of 

Mandalay NWR based on maintaining 

and improving wetland habitats, 

monitoring targeted flora and fauna 

representative of the Terrebonne Basin, 

and providing quality public use 

programs and wildlife-dependent 

recreational activities. All species 

occurring on the refuge would be 

considered and certain targeted species 

would be managed and monitored, in 

addition to species of Federal 

responsibility. These species would be 

chosen based on the criteria that they 

would be indicators of the health of 

important habitat or species of concern. 

Wetland loss would be documented 

and, whenever possible, the lost 

wetlands would be restored. Public use 

programs would be improved by 

offering more facilities and wildlife 

observation areas. Public use facilities 

would undergo annual reviews for 

maintenance needs and safety concerns. 

Overall public use would be monitored 

to determine if any uses would 

negatively impact refuge resources. 

Education programs would be reviewed 

and improved to complement current 

refuge management and staffing. 

Archaeological resources would be 

surveyed. 

Land acquisition within the approved 

acquisition boundary would be based on 

importance of the habitat for target 

management species. The refuge 

headquarters would house a small 

administrative office. The staff would 

offer interpretation of refuge wildlife 

and habitats, as well as demonstrate 

habitat improvements for individual 

landowners. The main interpretive 

facilities would be housed at the 

Southeast Louisiana NWR Complex 

Headquarters in Lacombe, Louisiana. 

In general, under Alternative B, 

management decisions and actions 

would support wildlife species and 

habitats occurring on the refuge based 

on well-planned strategies and sound 

scientific judgment. Quality wildlifedependent recreational uses and 

environmental education and 

interpretation programs would be 

offered to support and explain the 

natural resources of the refuge. 

Alternative C—Maximized Public Use 

Alternative C would emphasize 

managing the natural resources of 

Mandalay NWR for maximized public 

use activities. The majority of staff time 

and efforts would support hunting, 

fishing, wildlife observation, wildlife 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. Federal 

trust species and archaeological 

resources would be monitored as 

mandated. 

All refuge programs for conservation 

of wildlife and habitats, such as 

monitoring, surveying, and managing 

marsh, would support species and 

resources of importance for public use. 

More emphasis would be placed on 

interpreting and demonstrating these 

programs. Access, through means such 

as trails for walking and dredged areas 

for boat access, would be maximized, 

and we would provide public use 

facilities throughout the refuge. 

Land acquisition within the approved 

acquisition boundary would be based on 

importance of the habitat for public use. 

The refuge headquarters would provide 

a small administrative office and a 

visitor center, which would be 

developed for public use activities. 

In general, Alternative C would focus 

on expanding public use activities to the 

fullest extent possible and conducting 

only mandated resource protection.
