  • Proposed Rule
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 01/28/2020 and available online at https://federalregister.gov/d/2020-01012, and on govinfo.gov DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 17 [Docket No. FWS–R5–ES–2019–0098; 4500090023] RIN 1018-BE19 Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Big Sandy Crayfish and the Guyandotte River Crayfish AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish (Cambarus callainus) and the Guyandotte River crayfish (C. veteranus) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In total, approximately 582 stream kilometers (skm) (362 stream miles (smi)) in Martin and Pike Counties, Kentucky; Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties, Virginia; and McDowell, Mingo, and Wayne Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish. Approximately 135 skm (84 smi) in Logan and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Guyandotte River crayfish. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would extend the Act’s protections to these species’ critical habitat. We also announce the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for these species. DATES: We will accept comments on the proposed rule or draft economic analysis (DEA) that are received or postmarked on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF 1 PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m.

How can we help you? Success is: • Plan implementation by all 60 organizations/localities that we have assisted. • Revisited/new plans for all 60 organizations/localities (ongoing planning). • Plans developed for Virginia localities counties/cities that don’t currently have plans.

  • Designing Ocean Parks for the Next Century
    Designing Ocean Parks for the Next Century Gary E. Davis If human stewardship has been lax on land, it has been even worse in the sea. National Park System Advisory Board, 20011 Fishing in national parks FISHING HAS LONG BEEN A TRADITIONAL USE OF NATIONAL PARKS. Fishing has been part of park lore and attraction, from 19th-century commercial cutthroat trout fishing in Yellow- stone Lake to world-renowned sport fishing for tarpon and bonefish in Everglades National Park’s Florida Bay and the annual 70,000-ton take of market squid from Channel Islands Na- tional Park in the late 20th century.2 National Park Service policies that direct fishing have been published for decades, with a stated goal to preserve wild, native species in their natu- ral habitats, while providing fishing opportunities that do not interfere with preservation efforts. Such policies could also have been developed for other “renewable resources” such as birds, bees, and redwood trees, but were not. The removal of marine wildlife in parks still occurred although there is no authority that exempts fish and other aquatic wild life in parks from the protection of the 1916 Organic Act, which directs NPS to “conserve ... the wild life [in parks] and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired....” The 75 ocean units currently in the national park system include large submarine areas of Glacier Bay, Alaska, Dry Tortugas, Florida, and Channel Islands, California, that entered the park system early,in the 1920s and 1930s.

Humans construct humanity and personhood partially via interactions with other-than-human persons, such as animals, plants, and objects. I examine ritualized interactions between humans and others-than-human in a southeastern Indigenous "natureculture," exploring the intersections of ontology, personhood, and performance practice. Pvlvcekolv, an animistic Florida-based tribal town with a ceremonial Fire that pre-dates European Contact, maintains a centuries-old ritual tradition, the busk. Sometimes known as "Green Corn Ceremonialism," many Native communities share this tradition, including ii Cherokee, Chickasaw, Seminole, Yuchi, and other Creek peoples historically and in the present day. Performing the songs, dances, and ritual actions of the busk places participants into dialogue with other-than-human persons.

  • Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Vision Statement
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Vision Statement Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge belongs to a limited group among the 540 national wildlife refuges that protect fish, wildlife, and habitat within an urban area. Through collaboration with public and private partners, Stone Lakes conserves and enhances a range of scarce Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Central Valley habitats and the fish, wildlife, and plants they support. It sustains freshwater wetlands, wooded riparian corridors, and grasslands that facilitate wildlife movement and compensate for habitat fragmentation. Managed wetlands are of sufficient size to maintain abundant wildlife populations. Grasslands consist of a sustainable mix of native and desirable nonnative species that support a variety of grassland-dependent species. The Refuge reduces further habitat fragmentation and buffers the effects of urbanization on agricultural lands and adjacent natural areas within the Delta region. The Refuge pursues a land conservation program that complements other regional efforts and initiatives. Management efforts expand and diversify habitats for migratory birds and a range of species at risk. The Refuge promotes cooperative farming opportunities and strives to maintain traditional agricultural practices in southwestern Sacramento County that have proven benefits for migratory birds experiencing declines, such as long-billed curlews (Numenius americanus), Swainson’s hawks (Buteo swainsoni) and sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis). Through cooperation with other agencies, conservation organizations, neighbors, and other partners, the Refuge develops and manages wetlands in a manner that reflects historic hydrologic patterns and is consistent with local, State, and Federal floodplain management goals and programs. Stone Lakes was established as a national wildlife refuge because of passionate support from people who recognized its ecological importance and critical role for the floodplain of the Beach-Stone Lakes basin.
