Final Environmental Impact Statement/
Non-Native Deer Management Plan
Point Reyes National Seashore; Marin
County, CA; Notice of Availability
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as
amended), and the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR part 1500–1508), the national Park
Service, Department of the Interior has
prepared a Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) identifying and
evaluating five alternatives for a NonNative Deer Management Plan for Point
Reyes National Seashore administered
lands. When approved, the plan will
guide the NPS in managing the herds of
non-native deer over the next two
decades on all lands administered by
Point Reyes National Seashore. Through
the FEIS, the potential impacts of a ‘‘no
action’’ alternative and four ‘‘action’’
alternatives are assessed and, where
appropriate, mitigation measures are
applied to reduce the intensity of the
potential effect or to avoid the potential
effect. Five other preliminary
alternatives were considered but
rejected because they did not achieve
the objectives of the non-native deer
management plan or were infeasible.
Planning Background
Axis deer ((Axis axis) are native to
India and European fallow deer (Dama
dama) are native to Asia Minor and the
Mediterranean region. Axis and fallow
deer were introduced to the point Reyes
area in the 1940s and 1950s by local
ranchers, before establishment of the
Seashore. Between 1976 and 1994, the
NPS controlled the populations of the
herds by shooting the deer and more
than 2,000 non-native deer were culled
during this 18-year period. Culling was
discontinued in 1994 in response to
budgetary and public concerns. For the
past 16 years, the NPS has not actively
managed the non-native deer and their
numbers and overall range have
increased to, or surpassed, pre-control
levels. Seashore staff estimates current
numbers of axis and fallow deer to be
