Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex Comprehensive Conservation Planning
The Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex encompasses five refuges: the Block Island, John H. Chafee, Ninigret, Sachuest Point, and Trustom Pond refuges. Latest News on our CCPWe released the Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for the Rhode Island NWR Complex in May 2002. The Draft CCP and Environmental Assessment was released in December 2000. This document represents years of work among Federal and State agencies, local and regional officials and communities, conservation organizations, and user groups. The National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (PL 105-57) requires CCPs for each national wildlife refuge. CCPs are 15-year plans designed to provide strategic management direction that best achieves the refuge's purposes; attains the vision and goals developed for the refuge; contributes to the National Wildlife Refuge System mission; addresses key challenges, issues, and relevant mandates; and is consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management.
