... encompasses coastal wetlands, major rivers and adjacent uplands of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California. It is one of several critical habitat areas identified in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. This plan created in 1986 by the United States and Canada and joined in 1988 by Mexico, is a partnership of local citizens, private companies, conservation organizations, and government agencies. A primary goal of the plan is to reserve the downward trend in waterfowl populations by returning their numbers to those recorded in the 1970s. In order to achieve this goal, the plan works to secure, restore or enhance priority wetlands and maintain some of the current wetland uses to which waterfowl have adapted, such as farming and ranching.
