Fish and Aquatic Conservation

What this funds

Fish and Aquatic Conservation used contributed funds to support the Aquatic Animal Drug Approval Federal, State, private, Tribal, and university partners participated in the INAD Program that included 19 INADs to choose from. INAD treatments were used in over 775 studies on approximately 24 million fish. Therapeutic types of INADs that were administered to sick fish saved 83% of the treated fish that would One example of how the INAD Program is being used is by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources where a spawning aid is being used to develop a successful tiger muskie production program in their state. The use of this spawning aid has dramatically increased the number of tiger muskie fry for not only Utah but for the surrounding states as well. The tiger muskie production program in Utah manages fish populations by introducing sterile tiger muskies into Utah waters. This program not only helps to control nuisance fish but also creates better fishing opportunities. Without this INAD, and support of the INAD Program, tiger muskie production in Utah would suffer and possibly come to an end.

This law authorizes a fee system for commercial filming activities on Service land and to use the fees for expenditure by the Secretary, without further Community Partnership Enhancement Act of 1998, (16 U.S.C.742f). This Act authorizes the cooperative agreements with nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, or State and local governments to construct, operate, maintain, or improve refuge facilities and services, and to promote volunteer outreach The Operations and Maintenance of Quarters (Quarters) Account uses receipts from the rental of Service- owned quarters to pay for maintenance of those quarters. Certain circumstances, including a lack of off- site residences and site isolation, require Service personnel to occupy government-owned quarters. Such work includes protecting fish hatchery stock (e.g. maintaining water flow to fish rearing ponds during freezing temperatures), monitoring water management facilities, ensuring the health and welfare of visitors, responding to fires and floods, and protecting government property. As described in 16 U.S.C. 460(d), receipts collected from the sale of timber and crops from National Wildlife Refuge System lands leased or licensed from the Department of the Army may be used to pay the costs of production of the timber and crops and for managing wildlife habitat. Twenty-three National Wildlife Refuges were established as overlay projects on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, and they are administered in accordance with cooperative agreements. The agreements provide that timber and grain may be harvested and sold with the receipts returned for development, conservation, maintenance, and utilization of such lands. The Service has used these funds in the past for soil amendments; road construction and repairs; and ditch and fence construction and maintenance. These expenses cannot exceed the receipt amounts deposited as proceeds from sales.
