Salinas River NWR Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP)

Purpose and Need for the Plan
The purpose of developing the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for the Refuge is to provide managers with a 15-year strategy for achieving refuge purposes and contributing toward the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System). The National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (Improvement Act) requires that all National Wildlife Refuges be managed in accordance with an approved CCP by 2012. Moreover, the Refuge currently has no integrated plan that guides the management of all of its resources and uses. To meet the dual needs of complying with the Improvement Act and providing long-term integrated management guidance for the Refuge, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has prepared this CCP.
