The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has developed this Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Grand Bay NWR) to guide management actions and direction over the next 15 years. Fish and wildlife conservation will receive first priority in refuge management; wildlife-dependent recreation will be allowed and encouraged as long as it is compatible with, and does not detract from, the mission of the refuge or the purposes for which it was established.
