April 5, 2011 > Plans for the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Plans for the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Submitted By Winnie Chan What do you think about more fishing access along Alviso Slough or Coyote Creek? Do you have an interest in native plant communities and their threats from invasive weeds? Are you interested in how endangered species around the Bay are being protected? Are you a photographer looking for more outdoor opportunities? The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has developed three alternatives for a 15-year comprehensive conservation plan to guide management of the 30,000-acre Don Edwards San Francisco Bay (DESFB) National Wildlife Refuge. Find out more about how these alternatives will affect the Refuge's wildlife management, habitat management, and public uses at one of the public meetings listed below and share your comments on the alternatives. For more details about the alternatives, visit www.fws.gov/desfbay and view "Announcements" to the right of the webpage.
