Document Description
Humboldt National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Complex Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan/Environmental Assessment describes conservation issues & refugee management alternatives for the 4,000-acre Humboldt Bay NWR & the 14-acre Castle Rock NWR. Humboldt Bay NWR is located on Humboldt Bay on the northwest California coast near Arcata. The refuge protects wetlands & bay habitats for fish, wildlife & plants; especially migratory birds. The Refuge includes the Lanphere Dunes Unit, one of the most pristine remaining dune ecosystems on the west coast of North America. The refugee complex also administers Castle Rock NWR, as island located less than a mile off the California coast just north of Crescent City, which supports the largest breeding population of common murres in California & provides roost for Aleutian geese during migration.
