Sand Pond National Wildlife Area Management Plan: chapter 9

9 Plan Implementation

The management plan will be implemented over a 10-year period. Annual work plans will be developed in accordance with priorities and budgets, and the details of management plan implementation will be developed through Environment Canada’s annual work planning process and implemented as human and financial resources allow. An adaptive management approach will be favoured for the implementation of the management plan. The implementation of the plan will be evaluated 5 years after its publication, on the basis of the actions identified in Table 9.

The major action component of this plan consists of site monitoring and review. Inspection visits every year will provide required monitoring data to assess the status of migratory bird populations, status of Atlantic Coastal Plain Flora (ACPF) and overall ecological integrity of the National Wildlife Area (NWA).

9.1 Management Authorities and Mandates

The responsibility for management of Sand Pond NWA resides with the Canadian Wildlife Service - Environment Canada.

9.2 Management Plan Review
