| | Hunting - Refuge Use Soars by U..S. Fish and Wildlife Service |
 | | As a result, national wildlife refuges are supporting a greater share of the nation's wildlife populations -- its fundamental mission -- and more Americans are relying on refuges for their outdoor recreation. |
 | | Refuges across the country are actively seeking the opinions of hunters, anglers, and other members of the public as they embark on developing Comprehensive Conservation Plans that guide all aspects of refuge management, and will also begin making "Compatibility Determinations" reviews of hunting, fishing, and other public uses. |
 | | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. |
