Abstract:
Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for ensuring that migratory bird populations do not become threatened or endangered. In August 2006, we issued regulations that established two depredation orders and three control orders to allow control and management of resident Canada goose populations without permits. The regulations: (1) Allow State and tribal wildlife management agencies, airports, and landowners sufficient flexibility, within predefined guidelines, to reduce resident Canada goose populations. (2)Authorize airports, landowners, and State and tribal wildlife agencies (or their authorized agents) to conduct (or allow) management activities, including the take of birds, on resident Canada goose populations. (3) Authorize direct population control strategies. Under this program, the individual States, tribes, or directed public (airports and landowners) are authorized to implement the provisions of the regulations within Service guidelines. In addition to specific strategies, we will continue the use of special and regular hunting seasons, issued under 50 CFR 20, and the issuance of depredation permits and special Canada goose permits, issued under 50 CFR 21.41 and 21.26, respectively.
