The land acquisition priority system is a tool that numerically ranks projects by comparing only the Service trust resource objectives and priorities for each Refuge. Numerical scores are assigned to four components (Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Endangered and Threatened Species, Bird Conservation, and Landscape Conservation). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will use these rankings as a starting point for the Land and Water Conservation Fund budget process.
