NAWMP 2024 Update Feedback

To NAWMP Partnership members: 

On behalf on the North American Waterfowl Management Plan Committee (Plan Committee) and the NAWMP Update Steering Committee (USC) we are pleased to provide you with a link to a draft 2024 NAWMP Update. 

This Update process started early in 2023 and included surveys of the NAWMP partner community and waterfowl professionals across the continent. These surveys were delivered to organizations and individuals active in NAWMP and waterfowl management, Joint Venture staff and Flyway Councils and Technical Committees.  

At this time, we are reaching out once again to the above groups for review of the 2024 Update draft, the product of deliberations of the USC, three Update working groups (Populations, Habitat and People), outreach to many NAWMP groups, and a preliminary review by the Plan Committee. While the contact list we used for the surveys and this announcement is extensive and is updated regularly, feel free to pass on this email to others in the NAWMP community that may have been missed. 

You will also find a link to a supporting technical report, which captures the entire body of work of the three working groups. While we are not seeking review of the technical report, you may find it a useful reference, as it lays out in more detail the rationale for many recommendations contained in the Update.
