| A message from the Chief… The Division is extremely proud of the plan that it has produced in consultation with Terwilliger Consulting, Inc., all three sections of the Division staff, (Freshwater Fisheries, Marine Fisheries and Wildlife), spent countless hours obtaining data, conducting meetings with stake holders and brainstorming strategies in order to produce the final plan for Rhode Island. We hope that NAAT will look favorably upon the plan as they read through the extensive text, tables and data sets that make up Rhode Island's CWCS. As a Division employee for 37 years and currently Acting Chief I know that the development of this plan is the most significant accomplishment in the Division's history, and will change wildlife conservation programs in Rhode Island for the near and distant future. It will define the Division's mission, which is to "ensure that the freshwater, marine and wildlife resources of the state of Rhode Island will be conserved and managed for equitable and sustainable use". |
