  • Fiscal Year 2019 Annual Report
    ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 BRAD LACKEY 2 The Honorable Kay Ivey Governor of Alabama State Capitol Montgomery, AL 36130 Dear Governor Ivey: I am pleased to submit the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Annual Report for the scal year ending September 30, 2019. The Department continues to nd new ways to serve the public while adhering to our mission of promoting the wise stewardship and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources for current and future generations. In 2019, Gulf State Park was named Attraction of the Year by the Alabama Tourism Department. This distinction was due in part to the grand opening of the park’s new lodge, the rst at the park since Hurricane Ivan destroyed the previous lodge in 2004. Gulf State Park’s Eagle Cottages were also included in National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World Program. The cottages are one of seven locations in the U.S. to be included in the program with only 55 lodges in the program worldwide. We can now offer world-class destinations within one of the most beautiful state parks along the Gulf Coast. The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division’s Adult Mentored Hunting Program continued to be a successful tool for recruiting hunters, bringing in 88 new hunters to participate in 13 adult mentored hunting events. Programs like this build on our already-established youth hunting programs with a goal of creating more hunters who will purchase the licenses that provide so much of the Department’s revenue. The 2019 red snapper shing season was managed under an Exempted Fishing Permit issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
