North American Waterfowl Management Program
Headquarters POC
For millennia, ducks, geese, and swans have migrated across North America's landscapes in an annual ritual that evokes a sense of wonder. The mystery of migration is accompanied by certain knowledge that waterfowl are dependent upon a complex and increasingly vulnerable chain of habitats. Concerns over the dramatic loss of wetlands and declines in continental waterfowl populations led to the creation of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. The NAWMP is a strategic plan that fosters the creation of partnerships between state and federal governments, and private organizations to cooperate in the planning, funding, and implementation of projects to conserve and enhance wetland habitat in high-priority "joint venture" regions. The overall goal is to produce a total of 62 million breeding ducks that will produce a fall flight of 100 million ducks.
