Technical Report: In support of the 2024 Update for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan

Purpose 

Three working groups were assembled in early 2023 to update the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP). These working groups were arranged to focus on fundamental NAWMP goals around (1) waterfowl populations, (2) habitats, and (3) people. This report synthesizes the findings and recommendations of the three working groups. It provides details and context beyond what could be included in the more public-facing Update document. Our hope is that this will prove to be a useful reference for waterfowl practitioners and, especially, for teams assigned to future updates. To read the full document, please access the link below.
