The CCP Process
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act (16 U.S.C. 668dd–
668ee), requires us to develop a CCP for
each national wildlife refuge. The
purpose in 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 on 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
Administration Act.
Each unit of the National Wildlife
Refuge System is 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, 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; other
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. Johns NWR. The refuge’s Web site,
