On April 16, President Obama introduced the "America's Great Outdoors" Initiative (AGO), and signed a Presidential Memorandum calling for a action plan due on 11/15/2010 to meet 3 goals:
1) reconnecting Americans to "rivers and waterways" and other outdoor landscapes;
2) building upon successful local conservation approaches, and determining how the Federal government can best support them; and
3) using science-based management to restore and protect lands and waters.
The National Fish Habitat Action Plan is highly compatible with the “America’s Great Outdoors” Initiative. NFHAP will help the Administration meet its goals if NFHAP is recognized as a part of the Initiative. This is a win-win for NFHAP partners and for the Administration. But it may not happen without your help. The AGO Initiative will conduct listening sessions around the country to engage interested groups and individuals.
