Background:
Significant issues addressed in the
Draft CCP/EA include managing
threatened and endangered species,
species of concern, and other species of
federal responsibility; conserving
habitats and restoring wetland habitats
specific to the riverine and marine
environments; providing and improving
refuge visitor programs; increasing
public outreach; and providing
environmental education programs.
Three management alternatives were
considered for Delta Refuge. Alternative
A would continue current management
with no new actions to improve or
enhance existing programs. Alternative
B would focus on expanding public use
activities to the fullest extent possible,
including duplicating programs and
opportunities offered at the adjacent
wildlife management area. Alternative
C, the proposed alternative, would

emphasize managing natural resources
based on maintaining and improving
wetland habitats with improved
restoration techniques; providing
quality public use programs and
wildlife-dependent recreational
activities; and expanding the outreach
program.
Three management alternatives were
also considered for Breton Refuge.
Alternative A would continue the
present management practices with no
changes or improvements. Alternative B
would focus on leaving the islands to
the natural processes and weather
events with no active management
actions. Alternative C, the proposed
alternative, would emphasize working
with partners to restore island habitat
with large-scale projects, if considered
feasible; improving outreach; and
providing environmental education
relating to the barrier islands to local
schools.
Delta Refuge, consisting of 48,799
acres of wetlands at the mouth of the
Mississippi River, was established on
November 19, 1935, by Executive Order
7229.
Breton Refuge, the second oldest
national wildlife refuge in the United
States, is a barrier island chain in Breton
and Chandeleur Sounds in the Gulf of
Mexico. It was established on October 4,
1903, by Executive Order 7938, signed
by President Theodore Roosevelt.
