Coordination as a Cornerstone
A key strength of the NAWMP process has been its strong emphasis on continuity and careful coordination. This approach has empowered wildlife management agencies across North America to successfully implement a wide range of short- and long-term projects that align with the Plan's ambitious and shared goals.
A Body Built for Continental Collaboration
To further enhance these strengths, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan Committee was established as a vital collaborative body. This Committee has played an instrumental role in monitoring progress, guiding updates to the Plan, coordinating ongoing initiatives, and thoughtfully assessing new proposals and joint ventures. It brings together dedicated representatives from federal, state, provincial, and territorial wildlife agencies in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, fostering unprecedented trinational cooperation.
Advisory, Not Regulatory
The Committee offers valuable recommendations that are fully aligned with the Plan's scope, helping drive positive outcomes. It operates without regulatory authority and fully respects and complements the established functions of flyway councils in the United States, ensuring efficient and harmonious conservation efforts across the continent.
