9. Plan implementation

Details of management plan implementation will be developed through Environment Canada’s annual work planning process and will be implemented as human and financial resources allow. Implementation of the Mississippi Lake National Wildlife Area (NWA) Management Plan will be based on the goals identified in this Management Plan. Refer to Table 5 for a summary of priority actions for implementation 2014-2023.

9.1 Management authority and mandate

EC-CWS, Ontario, is responsible for site management of Mississippi Lake NWA and the Mississippi Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary (MBS).

9.2 Management Plan review

Evaluation will take the form of a review of data obtained from the monitoring, surveys, and research projects and collaborative arrangements outlined below. Monitoring, surveys and research at the Mississippi Lake NWA will be performed within the limits imposed by financial and human resources. The data collected will be reviewed annually and used to inform future management at the NWA. Furthermore, these data will be used to evaluate federal contributions towards accomplishing the mandates specific to Environment Canada Canadian Wildlife Service (EC-CWS) for which the protected area was established.

This Management Plan will be reviewed 5 years after its formal approval by EC-CWS and every 10 years thereafter.
