Federal Projects
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires federal agencies to consult with the bet365下载ios on all projects that impact wetlands, bayous, coulees, streams, lakes and rivers, and to give fish and wildlife resources equal consideration during the project planning process, while at the same time accomplishing the objectives of the proposed action.
We work to conserve fish, wildlife and their habitats by avoiding and minimizing impacts and recommending mitigation for flood risk reduction and navigation projects. We improve the design and function of the Corps鈥 ecosystem restoration projects and provide recommendations for beneficial use of dredge material from federally authorized navigation projects. Our staff assists the Corps by serving as members of planning teams, reviewing and providing recommendations on proposed project plans and designs, conduct impact assessments, developing mitigation plans, and providing knowledge and expertise about wildlife and habitat management and wetland restoration.
Other authorities under which we provide assistance and guidance to help achieve environmental compliance include the , the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA), Bald and Golden Eagle Management and the (for Essential Fish Habitat).
