Environmental Assessment: Green Island Wildlife Area, Habitat Development and Enhancement, Upper Mississippi River, Pool 13, Jackson County, Iowa

摘要

The purposes of this project are to improve habitat conditions for marsh-dependent wildlife species and to provide public use facilities for recreationists. Once completed, the proposed action is expected to benefit a variety of wildlife species including several species of ducks and geese, herons, bitterns, kingfishers, grebes, hawks, eagles, killdeer, plovers, gallinules, otter, mink, beaver, raccoon, muskrat and several amphibians and reptiles associated with marsh exosystems. The development of public use facilities is intended to provide safe and convenient access and to reduce congestion on adjacent county roads. Keywords: Wildlife management, Resource management. (KT)
