NORTH CAROLINA: Management Plans for Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge are Open for Public Comment: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared plans that will guide management of the 50,000-acre Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. Mattamuskeet currently allows deer and waterfowl hunting, including a program for youth. The plan offers two management alternatives to the present management approach for Mattamuskeet. Alternative B would continue the existing hunts, but the refuge would explore how to increase youth hunting opportunities for deer and waterfowl and would work with the state to conduct activities that promote hunter recruitment and retention. Alternative C would expand on those efforts. The deadline for comments on this plan is this Monday, August 18th. It is important for the Service to hear from the hunting community on its proposals to expand hunting on these two refuges. Please take the time to review the plan and comment. You may view the planning document at http://southeast.fws.gov/planning, and submit your comments at that address, or to [email protected]. |
