  • New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan
    New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture December 14 2007 Executive Summary The New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture (NB-EHJV) was established in 1989 to implement the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) in New Brunswick through a partnership of federal, provincial and regional conservation organizations. The NB-EHJV Five Year Implementation Plan to be known as the Plan is an update of the 1989 – 2004 NB Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Implementation Plan. The Plan outlines the current status of wetland habitats and waterfowl populations in New Brunswick and presents waterfowl population goals and habitat conservation targets for the next five years. The Plan is a blueprint for the conservation of important breeding, staging and wintering waterfowl habitat in New Brunswick. It describes the habitat conservation program the NB- EHJV partnership will employ to achieve the waterfowl population objectives, the methods for program assessment and the resource needs. Though this Plan may benefit other bird species, it does not explicitly address the objectives for the other bird Pillars of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI). The Plan will address 15% (1,105 IBP) of the 7,600 IBP population deficit for dabbling ducks (American black duck, Mallard, green-winged teal, ring-necked duck) in NB through the enhancement or restoration of 1,380 hectares of wetlands and the active management of 13,901 hectares of wetlands to optimum waterfowl brood rearing conditions. A nest box program will be used to increase wood duck and common goldeneye.
