Alternative B: Increased Research and
Management via Partnerships
Alternative B proposes increased
research and management capability,
primarily through the use of cooperative
partnerships and outside funding, with
a modest increase of staff (three
positions for the Complex). Research
would be enhanced beyond priority,
high-profile imperiled species. Because
much baseline data are needed beyond
the current surveying and monitoring
protocols, this alternative would seek to
initiate studies of a broader suite of
species and to document noted declines
of refuge habitat and species (waterfowl)
and climate-change impacts. Since the
refuge is accessible mostly by water
from off-site, non-Service-owned ramps,
we would provide more complete
information to help the public locate the
refuge via water. Studies would be
conducted to assess visitor and
commercial use effects on refuge
resources; further, in Citrus County,
commercial uses would require a
special use permit issued by the refuge.
A volunteer coordinator position is
proposed to expand the volunteer corps
and programs and to train and use
volunteers to promote interpretation,
voluntary compliance with refuge
regulations, and the new environmental
education programs of the refuge.
Alternative C: Adaptive Management
(Proposed Alternative)
Alternative C would also heavily rely
on our extensive partnerships and
promote some new ones. We would rely
on and use a volunteer corps for every
program area and investigate the use of
prison crews for maintenance work.
This alternative assumes Service
funding above current levels for
research studies and facilities
development and proposes additional
staffing (eight positions for the
Complex), to provide optimal resource
protection and management capability.
Research would include a broader suite
of species, as well as habitat studies to
adaptively manage for wildlife
populations. The impacts of commercial
and visitor use and external threats to
the refuge would be studied and the
results of those studies applied to refuge
management and public use. Upland
uses would be promoted though the
development of improved facilities and
access, and an observation platform and
kayak landing would be added to the
Dog Island facility, accessed by boat.
The addition of key positions, such as
a law enforcement officer, a volunteer
coordinator, and biological and

computer-mapping technicians, would
allow for greater resource study,
mapping, data analysis, and
enforcement. The hiring of a wildlife
refuge specialist and office assistant
would support staff and provide a
dedicated outreach coordinator. Refuge
facilities would be improved for both
visitor services and personnel,
including projects to replace the
headquarters office (to reduce flooding
potential) and build a pole barn and
make other smaller improvements to the
maintenance area and shop. For all
alternatives, ‘‘green’’ options, materials,
and energy efficiency would be
included in the design and construction
of new facilities and in equipment
replacement.
