Cape May National Wildlife Regfuge: Comprehensive Conservation Plan

摘要

The Cape May National Wildlife Refuge is strategically located to conserve habitat for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds which pass through the area each year. As the New Jersey Coast and the Cape May Peninsula witness the loss of natural habitat, the refuge, in concert with various partners, is working to ensure that important habitats are preserved. These efforts will provide opportunities for future generations of Americans to enjoy the spectacular concentrations of shorebirds, songbirds, raptors, and waterfowl which have made the Cape May area famous for bird watching. In tune with public support for improving conditions on National Wildlife Refuges, we are dedicated to completing a Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for each refuge in the Northeast Region by 2012. A CCP provides management direction for a refuge for 15 years by documenting desired future conditions and management actions needed to achieve them; serving as a guide to improve refuge habitat and infrastructure for wildlife conservation and refuge visitors.
