The National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Improvement Act),
which amended the National Wildlife
Refuge System Administration Act of
1966, requires us to develop a CCP for
each refuge. The purpose for developing
a CCP is to provide refuge managers
with a 15-year strategy for achieving
refuge purposes and contributing to the
mission of the National Wildlife Refuge
System, consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and our policies. In addition
to outlining broad management
direction for conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
Improvement Act.
Each unit of the National Wildlife
Refuge System was established for
specific purposes. We use these
purposes as the foundation for
developing and prioritizing the
management goals and objectives for
each refuge within the National Wildlife
Refuge System mission, and to
determine how the public can use each
refuge. The planning process is a way
for us and the public to evaluate
management goals and objectives for the
best possible conservation approach to
this important wildlife habitat, while
providing for wildlife-dependent
recreation opportunities that are
compatible with the refuge’s
establishing purposes and the mission
of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Our CCP process provides
participation opportunities for Tribal,
State, and local governments; agencies;
organizations; and the public. At this
time we encourage input in the form of
issues, concerns, ideas, and suggestions
for the future management of St.
Vincent NWR.
We will conduct the environmental
review of this project and develop an
EA in accordance with the requirements
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA) (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); NEPA regulations

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508); other
appropriate Federal laws and
regulations; and our policies and
procedures for compliance with those
laws and regulations.
St. Vincent NWR, which encompasses
12,490 acres, was established in 1968 as
a waterfowl sanctuary. The primary
feature of the refuge is the 4-mile-wide,
9-mile-long, 12,358-acre barrier island
known as St. Vincent Island. In
addition, the refuge includes a 46-acre
island known as Pig Island in St. Joseph
Bay, as well as an 86-acre mainland
tract of land known as 14-mile site,
south of County Road 30A. Management
activities focus on managing and
conserving the natural barrier island
and associated native plant and animal
communities. St. Vincent NWR provides
habitat for numerous fresh and marine
water species and thousands of birds,
including wading and water birds (e.g.,
herons, egrets, and wood storks), as well
as shorebirds (e.g., snowy plovers,
American oystercatchers, and red
knots). Many neotropical migratory
songbirds breed on the refuge and use
it during migration. Since 1990, the
refuge has supported the recovery of the
endangered red wolf by providing St.
Vincent Island as a propagation site.
Other species, including deer, squirrel,
raccoon, alligator, snake, and sea turtle,
can be found on the refuge.
