1 The North American Waterfowl Management Plan: Incorporating the New Goal Mark P. Vrtiska, Ph.D. Waterfowl Program Manager Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
2 Young Andy Bishop
3 2012 NAWMP Goals 1. Abundant and resilient waterfowl populations to support hunting and other uses without imperiling habitat. 2. Wetlands and related habitats sufficient to sustain waterfowl populations at desired levels, while providing places to recreate and ecological services that benefit society. 3. Growing numbers of waterfowl hunters, other conservationists, and citizens who enjoy and actively support waterfowl and wetlands conservation.
4 The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) 1986 amid record low duck bpops. Established waterfowl population objectives. Identified key waterfowl habitats. Established joint venture concept.
5 NAWMP RWBJV

7 The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) Did not address people specifically.
8 The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) The goals in this Plan should be sufficient to maintain populations of ducks of various species and their habitats at levels acceptable to people who use and enjoy them...
9 The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) Meeting these goals would provide the opportunity for 2.2 million hunters in Canada and the United States to harvest 20 million ducks annually. It would also provide benefits to millions of people interested in waterfowl for purposes other than hunting. An overall objective of management agencies is to accommodate the diverse public interests in waterfowl and to assure that all citizens can benefit from abundant waterfowl populations.
10 The North American Waterfowl 1994 Update: Management Plan (NAWMP) Instill a stronger conservation ethic among private landowners and identify and implement practical ways to encourage them to become active partners in the effort to protect wetlands and enhance waterfowl populations by integrating soil, water, and wildlife management on a sustainable basis.
11 The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) 1998 (and 2004) Update: Since the early 1980s, the number of waterfowl hunters has declined significantly. However, the number of people active in other forms of outdoor recreation, such as bird watching has grown rapidly. Hunters have been long-standing, vocal supporters of conservation, and have contributed substantially to habitat conservation projects. Others who are equally concerned about and benefit from conservation must be encouraged to contribute as hunters have. This will help to ensure that conservation efforts are sustained over time and that the associated costs are more fairly distributed.

14 Adaptive Harvest Management (AHM) Began in 1995, after contentious seasonsetting process in Process by which duck seasons have been set since 1995.
15 Management objective for AHM: Maximize cumulative duck harvest over the long term. This objective is constrained to avoid regulations that could be expected to result in a subsequent population size below the NAWMP goal. Maximize cumulative duck harvest = surrogate for hunter satisfaction/preferences and maintain duck populations. Constraint = harvest should not be what keeps us from achieving NAWMP goal.
16 Mallard Bpop, Traditional Survey Area, Harvest Valued NAWMP Goal Harvest Devalued
17 Adaptive Harvest Management (AHM) In 2002, initial discovery that NAWMP constraint not doing anything in terms of helping achieving population goal. NAWMP constraint, however, was limiting harvest opportunity.
18 First time a national survey sent to duck hunters. Various questions about satisfaction and preferences. Resolved issue about long duck seasons (hunters like them).
19 NAWMP constraint and harvest initiated an assessment of NAWMP goals (Joint Task Group) Joint Task Group Report (2007): Harvest and habitat management are inextricably linked and the objectives of both harvest management and NAWMP should explicitly reflect that linkage. Habitat affects size of harvestable surplus Harvest affects use of available habitat
20 NAWMP constraint and harvest initiated an assessment of NAWMP goals (Joint Task Group) Joint Task Group Report (2007): Harvest and habitat management are inextricably linked and the objectives of both harvest management and NAWMP should explicitly reflect that linkage. Habitat affects size of harvestable surplus Harvest affects use of available habitat Population goals of the NAWMP cannot be interpreted without the context provided by a specified harvest policy.
21 Joint Task Group Report: The 2 programs are working toward common ends however, without clarification and linkage, there is a missed opportunity for coherence and integration.
22 Waterfowl Hunter Recruitment and Retention Strategy
23 Spatial Scale Models to Address Hunter Recruitment and Retention Capacity for Hunting Identity Production Decision to Hunt Temporal Scale
24 The Future of Waterfowl Management Workshop Minneapolis, MN, Recommended expanded capacity for survey, assessment, and modeling of social attitudes related to waterfowl hunting and habitat conservation to assure the necessary and appropriate consideration of human dimensions elements in a unified framework for waterfowl management.

29 1986 NAWMP
30 Revised NAWMP A need to re-vision the waterfowl management enterprise. Break down silos; work towards common goals. Become more effective and efficient. Keep pace with environmental and societal changes. More explicit consideration of people. NAWMP 2012
31 Began in Revised NAWMP Multiple meetings, workshops, consultations, etc., Considered entire waterfowl management enterprise. NAWMP 2012
32 Advocated for an integrated management system. Proposed new goals, including a focus on people.
33 2012 NAWMP Goals 1. Abundant and resilient waterfowl populations to support hunting and other uses without imperiling habitat. 2. Wetlands and related habitats sufficient to sustain waterfowl populations at desired levels, while providing places to recreate and ecological services that benefit society. 3. Growing numbers of waterfowl hunters, other conservationists, and citizens who enjoy and actively support waterfowl and wetlands conservation.
34 Advocated for an integrated management system. Proposed new goals, including a focus on people. Acknowledged the strong linkages among goals.

36 Social Psychology Economics Political Science Human Dimensions Communication Anthropology Sociology Marketing
37 Human Dimensions in Waterfowl Management HD relatively new field in wildlife mgt. Really began in 1970 s Definition of HD in wildlife management: How people value wildlife; How they want wildlife to be managed; How they affect or are affected by wildlife & wildlife management decisions.
38 Human Dimensions in Waterfowl Management How people value wildlife: Recreation 77 million Americans participate in wildlife Education Informing individuals how our world functions Aesthetics Appreciate seeing wildlife in natural environment (wildlife viewing tours) Biological/Ecological Pollination, seed dispersal, nutrient cycling
39 Human Dimensions in Waterfowl Management How people value wildlife: Sociocultural Hunting and fishing traditions that become important within culture. Commercial Regional economy benefits from $ wildlife-users spend on food, lodging, fuel, & equipment.
40 Challenges: Establishing People Goals What people? Hunters Non-consumptive users Public
41 Recruiting new, retaining old - Why haven t they, or why did they quit? - How do we get them into it or back into it? - How many do we need or want?
42 How are we going to engage non-consumptive users into paying for conservation? Do they already support conservation? Implementing the 2012 Revision Interim Integration Committee (Dale Humburg, Chair) Develop coherence across waterfowl management Human Dimensions Work Group (Cal DuBrock, Chair) Develop social science and strategy Public Engagement Team (Gray Anderson, Chair) Communicate and market the plan objectives
43 Challenges: Do we have enough public access in the right places for new people? Are current people satisfied with what we have? How much do they use it?
44 Ecological goods and services of wetland conservation RWB wetlands provide groundwater recharge, improve water quality, etc., have we told the story? Enough? Right people?
45 Challenges: Establishing People Goals What people? Hunters Non-consumptive users Public Changing/modifying priorities/objectives
46 - Emphasis on Roundouts Increase management capability, but allow for more duck hunters?
47 - Wetland restorations/enhancements Involve user-friendly considerations?
48 Challenges: Establishing People Goals What people? Hunters Non-consumptive users Public Changing/modifying priorities/objectives Little or no HD expertise in JV or partners. Increased communication/cooperation.
49 Challenges: Significant challenges in RWB planning, monitoring, research, outreach, etc., One result of RWBJV planning:
50 Opportunities: Increased support for conservation. Maintain support for hunting under North American Model.
51
52 Opportunities: Increased support for conservation. Maintain support for hunting under North American Model. Provides economic/social diversity to Nebraska.
