Abstract:

The North Carolina Colonial Wildlife Management Committee was formed in 1983 with a memorandum of understanding signed by 10 agencies and conservation groups in forging a commitment to protect North Carolina waterbird populations and their habitats. It was recognized from an early point that migrating waterbirds were making substantial use of man-made islands, creating by the activates of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Largely due to the efforts of Dr. James Parnell and Thomas Henson many of these were acquired by the Wildlife Resources Commission in the early 2000s. In all, there are 23 dredged material islands managed by the Commission and Audubon North Carolina biologists.
