DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Fish and Wildlife Service
Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of the
Draft Comprehensive Conservation
Plan/Environmental Assessment for Bon
Secour National Wildlife Refuge in
Baldwin County, Alabama.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service
announces that a Draft Comprehensive
Conservation Plan/Environmental
Assessment for Bon Secour National
Wildlife Refuge is available for review
and comment. The National Wildlife
Refuge System Administration Act of
1966, as amended by the National
Wildlife Refuge System Improvement
Act of 1997, requires the Service to
develop a comprehensive conservation
plan for each national wildlife refuge.
The purpose in developing a
comprehensive conservation plan is to
provide refuge managers with a 15-year
strategy for achieving refuge purposes
and contributing toward the mission of
the National Wildlife Refuge System,
consistent with sound principles of fish
and wildlife management, conservation,
legal mandates, and Service policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, the plan identifies
wildlife-dependent recreational
opportunities available to the public,
including opportunities for hunting,
fishing, wildlife observation and
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation.
Proposed goals for the refuge include:
• Identifying, conserving, managing,
enhancing, and restoring populations of
native fish and wildlife species
representative of coastal Alabama, with
special emphasis on migratory birds and
threatened and endangered species.
• Identifying, conserving, managing,
enhancing, and restoring the natural
diversity, abundance, and ecological
functions of refuge habitats and
associated plant communities, with an
emphasis on managing designated
VerDate jul<14>2003

critical habitat for threatened and
endangered species.
• Identifying and conserving
archaeological and natural resources on
the refuge and promoting conservation
through interagency and private
landowner cooperation, partnerships,
and land protection programs on the
Fort Morgan Peninsula and coastal
Alabama.
• Providing the public with quality
interpretation, outreach opportunities,
environmental education programs, and
recreational activities that lead to a
greater understanding, enjoyment, and
appreciation of fish, wildlife, habitats,
and cultural resources of coastal
Alabama.
Compatibility determinations for
recreational fishing, wildlife
observation, photography, hiking,
environmental education and
interpretation, swimming and beach
use, scientific research, dogs on the
beach, and bicycling are included in the
draft plan.
Proposed Action
The proposed action is to adopt and
implement a comprehensive
conservation plan for the refuge that
best achieves the refuge’s purpose,
vision, and goals; contributes to the
National Wildlife Refuge System
mission; addresses the significant issues
and relevant mandates; and is consistent
with principles of sound fish and
wildlife management. The Service
analyzed four alternatives for managing
the refuge and chose Alternative D as
the one to best achieve all of these
elements.
Alternatives
Alternative A—Represents the status
quo; e.g., no changes from current
management of the refuge. Existing
refuge management and public outreach
practices would be favored under this
alternative. All refuge management
actions would be directed towards
achieving the refuge’s primary purposes
including: (1) Preserving habitat to
ensure the well-being of nationally
threatened and endangered species; (2)
conserving an undisturbed beach/dune
ecosystem which includes a diversity of
fish, wildlife, and their habitats; (3)
serving as a living laboratory for
scientists and students; and (4)
providing wildlife-oriented recreation
for the public.
Refuge management programs would
continue to be developed and
implemented with little baseline
biological information. Active habitat
management would include beach/dune
habitat improvement and restoration,
protection of nesting sea turtles, and

prescribed burning designed to reduce
fuel loads. Land would be acquired from
willing sellers within the current
acquisition boundary totaling
approximately 12,570 acres.
Fishing and wildlife observation
would continue to be the major focuses
of the refuge public use program, with
no expansion of current opportunities.
Current restrictions or prohibitions
would remain. No new trails would be
developed, but the refuge staff would
continue to maintain the existing trails.
Environmental education and
interpretation and wildlife photography
would be accommodated on a case-bycase basis. Funding to construct a
maintenance facility and to rehabilitate
existing facilities would be requested.
Alternative B—Expands wildlife and
habitat management activities, while
maintaining current public use and
education. Under this alternative, the
emphasis would be to improve refuge
resources for wildlife, while still
maintaining those public use
opportunities which presently exist.
Most refuge management actions would
be directed toward preserving,
enhancing, restoring, and managing the
beach/dune habitat for the benefit of the
Alabama beach mouse and nesting sea
turtles. Prescribed burning would be
used to improve habitat for neotropical
migratory birds. Other national,
regional, and state goals to protect and
restore forest, grassland, and scrub/
shrub bird populations would be
supported secondarily in habitats that
are inland from the beach/dune habitat.
Baseline data would be collected,
standardized surveys implemented, and
populations monitored.
Additional staff would include a
biological technician and a law
enforcement officer to accomplish
objectives for establishing baseline data
on refuge resources, managing habitats,
and protecting biological resources.
Under this alternative the refuge
would continue to seek lands from
willing sellers within the acquisition
boundary. Non-traditional land
protection methods would be developed
and employed.
Public uses would include wildlife
observation and photography, limited
interpretation, and fishing. Under this
alternative, outreach and environmental
education would occur on a sporadic,
time-permitting basis. No evaluation of
existing uses would occur. Fishing and
wildlife observation would continue to
be the major focus for the public use
program, with no expansion of
enhancement of current opportunities.
No new trails would be developed, but
the refuge staff would continue to
maintain the existing trails. All new
