| Desc | CENTER FOR WESTERN LANDS (CWL): RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL PUBLIC-LANDS AND CONSERVATION OF IMPORTANT BACKCOUNTRY AREAS ARE THE MAIN REASONS SPORTSMEN EXPERIENCE HIGH-QUALITY HUNTING AND FISHING IN THESE AREAS. THESE INTACT PUBLIC LANDS OFFER KEY HABITAT FOR NUMEROUS FISH AND WILDLIFE SPECIES, INCLUDING WILD TROUT AND SALMON, UPLAND GAME BIRDS, MULE DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN AND WILD SHEEP. DESPITE THEIR IMPORTANCE, HOWEVER, THESE PLACES AND THE RESOURCES THEY SUSTAIN ARE FACING MOUNTING DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES ACROSS THE WEST FROM TRADITIONAL AND RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, TRANSMISSION CORRIDORS AND POORLY MANAGED OFF-ROAD VEHICLE USE. THESE ISSUES FORM THE CORE OF THE TRCP'S CENTER FOR WESTERN LANDS. THE TRCP'S BACKCOUNTRY WORKING GROUP IS WORKING WITH INDIVIDUAL SPORTSMEN, LOCAL GROUPS AND BUSINESSES, WESTERN GOVERNORS AND NATIONAL DECISION MAKERS TO ENSURE THAT SPORTSMEN'S PRIORITIES ARE CONSIDERED AS THE FUTURE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF OUR BACKCOUNTRY AREAS ARE DETERMINED. IN 2017, TRCP WAS FORCED TO DEFEND MANY OF THE GAINS MADE IN THE RECENT PAST AS A NEW ADMINISTRATION AND NEW CONGRESS SOUGHT TO REDEFINE OR UNDO MANY FEDERAL LANDS MANAGEMENT POLICIES. ON ISSUES SUCH AS BLM LAND USE PLANNING, ENERGY, FOREST MANAGEMENT, AND SAGE-GROUSE.LAND USE PLANNINGIN THE SPRING OF 2017, THE SAME DAY THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED A CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW ACT RESOLUTION OF DISAPPROVAL THAT NULLIFIED THE BLM'S REVISED LAND USE PLANNING RULE, DOI SECRETARY RYAN ZINKE ISSUED A MEMORANDUM TO BLM LEADERSHIP DIRECTING THE AGENCY TO DEVELOP A REPORT THAT OUTLINED STEPS THAT THE BLM COULD TAKE TO MODERNIZE ITS LAND USE PLANNING PROCESS. PRIORITIES OUTLINED INCLUDE STREAMLINING, WORKING WITH STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, INCREASING TRANSPARENCY, AND RIGHT-SIZING ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS. THE TRCP SUBMITTED RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BLM BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY THROUGH THE SPORTSMEN FOR RESPONSIBLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN. THE BLM WAS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THEIR REPORT TO SECRETARY ZINKE BY SEPTEMBER 2017. WHILE THE REPORT IS NOT PUBLIC, WE BELIEVE IT INCLUDED RECOMMENDATIONS AND OPTIONS FOR ACHIEVING THE PLANNING GOALS OUTLINED IN THE MEMO. AT THE LOCAL LAND USE PLAN LEVEL, THE TRCP WESTERN FIELD TEAM CONTINUES TO WORK TO ADVANCE THE CONSERVATION OF INTACT BACKCOUNTRY AREAS AND MIGRATION CORRIDORS, AND COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PLANS THROUGH BLM INDIVIDUAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLANS IN COLORADO, OREGON, NEVADA, IDAHO, MONTANA, WYOMING AND NEW MEXICO. THE TRCP IS ALSO WORKING TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOMES OF INDIVIDUAL NATIONAL FOREST PLAN REVISIONS IN IDAHO, COLORADO, ARIZONA, AND MONTANA. WHILE TIMELINES FOR THESE PLANS HAVE BEEN DELAYED, WE REMAIN ON TRACK TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS.ENERGYIN OCTOBER 2017, THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR RELEASED ITS LONG-AWAITED ENERGY BURDENS REPORT THAT "IDENTIFIES AGENCY ACTIONS THAT POTENTIALLY BURDEN THE DEVELOPMENT OR USE OF DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED ENERGY RESOURCES, AND MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ELIMINATING OR ALLEVIATING THOSE BURDENS. AS PART OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, DOI IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE MASTER LEASING PLAN POLICY A KEY PROVISION OF THE 2010 OIL AND GAS LEASING REFORMS BE ELIMINATED. THE REPORT ALSO INCLUDES RECOMMENDATIONS TO EVALUATE THE FEDERAL SAGE GROUSE PLANS, MODIFY OR RESCIND MITIGATION POLICIES, AND REVIEW BLM DESIGNATIONS.THE TRCP EXPRESSED OUR DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE FINDINGS OF THE REPORT AND WE ARE WORKING TO INFLUENCE THE REPORT IN DIFFERENT WAYS:1- MASTER LEASING PLANS: WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE CAN STOP THE UNRAVELING OF THE MLP POLICY, AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING TO ADVANCE MLPS IN THREE DISTINCT LOCATIONS OF THE WEST WHERE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY TO OCCUR IN AREAS WITH HIGH-VALUE WILDLIFE HABITAT. WE ARE FOCUSED ON CONVINCING THE ADMINISTRATION TO ALLOW THOSE COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING PROCESS TO CONTINUE, BUT UNDER DIFFERENT NOMENCLATURE AND INDEPENDENT OF THE MLP POLICY.2- SAGE GROUSE: SEE BELOW.3- MITIGATION: THE TRCP IS ESTABLISHING A DEVELOPMENT AND MITIGATION WORKING GROUP THAT WILL ADDRESS POLICY AND MANAGEMENT ACTIONS SURROUNDING EXISTING MITIGATION POLICY AND ENERGY, TRANSMISSION, AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT.4- DESIGNATIONS REVIEW: WE ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THAT THE BACKCOUNTRY CONSERVATION AREA DESIGNATION IS NOT TARGETED THROUGH THE DESIGNATION REVIEW BY ORGANIZING A SUPPORT LETTER FROM REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND BY DELIVERING SUPPORT FROM CONSERVATIVE INTERESTS.SAGE GROUSEIN JUNE 2017, DOI SECRETARY ZINKE ISSUED SECRETARIAL ORDER 3353, WHICH INITIATED A REVIEW OF THE FEDERAL SAGE GROUSE PLANS THAT AMENDED 98 INDIVIDUAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLANS, CONSERVED 67 MILLION ACRES OF SAGEBRUSH STEPPE, AND HELPED KEEP THE GREATER SAGE GROUSE OFF OF THE THREATENED/ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST. IN AUGUST, THE REVIEW TEAM ISSUED THEIR REPORT, WHICH INCLUDED DIRECTION FOR THE BLM TO WORK WITH THE SAGE GROUSE TASK FORCE TO CONSIDER MAKING CHANGES TO SAGE GROUSE MANAGEMENT IN A WAY THAT COULD AFFECT ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, GRAZING PRACTICES, MITIGATION STRATEGIES, AND MINERAL WITHDRAWALS IN FOCAL AREAS. WHILE THIS DIRECTION MAY LEAD TO NEGATIVE OUTCOMES FOR SAGE GROUSE AND THE SAGE GROUSE PLANS, NO CONCLUSIVE DECISIONS HAVE YET BEEN MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATION. THE TRCP HAS ALSO WORKED TO PREVENT ANY LEGISLATION FROM ROLLING BACK OR UNDERMINING THE FEDERAL SAGE GROUSE CONSERVATION PLANS.MIGRATIONTHE TRCP HAS LONG BEEN WORKING TO PERSUADE THE BLM TO ADOPT TOOLS FOR THE CONSIDERATION AND CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE MIGRATION CORRIDORS AND STOPOVER HABITAT. WE ARE PURSUING THIS OBJECTIVE AT THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL LEVELS. NATIONALLY, THE BLM IS NEARING COMPLETION OF THE 6500 WILDLIFE MANUAL, AND WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE AGENCY THAT WILDLIFE MIGRATION CORRIDORS ARE HEAVILY COVERED IN THE MANUAL, WHICH WILL BE A MANAGEMENT TOOL USED BY THE AGENCY ONCE COMPLETED IN LATE 2017 OR EARLY 2018. THE TRCP ALSO RECENTLY COMPLETED A PROJECT WITH THE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE THAT LISTED AN INVENTORY AND REPORT ON MIGRATION CORRIDORS IN WESTERN STATES. THE REPORT IDENTIFIES KNOWN CORRIDORS AND INFORMATION GAPS, AND IT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR US TO USE TO BOLSTER ADVOCACY AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL INPUT ON RMPS, FOREST PLANS AND OTHER LAND USE PLANNING EFFORTS. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONTINUED): | CENTER FOR AGRICULTURAL AND PRIVATE LANDS (CAL): THE TRCP CENTER FOR AGRICULTURE AND PRIVATE LANDS IS FOCUSING ON BOTH ENSURING STRONG TITLE II CONSERVATION FUNDING AND ADVANCING SPORTSMEN'S PRIORITIES IN THE 2018 FARM BILL, PARTICULARLY THROUGH OUR 24-MEMBER AGRICULTURE AND WILDLIFE WORKING GROUP (AWWG). THIS SPRING, THE AWWG COMPLETED THE "SPORTSMEN'S PRIORITIES FOR CONSERVATION AND ACCESS IN THE 2018 FARM BILL". WE WENT FINAL WITH THIS POLICY PLATFORM IN OCTOBER AND HAVE SHARED THE DOCUMENT WITH NEARLY ALL 67 MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEES. SINCE SEPTEMBER, THE TRCP HAS BEEN WORKING TO SHIFT THE AWWG 9-PAGE POLICY DOCUMENT INTO AN EASILY DISPENSABLE FORMAT FOR USE BY THE AWWG AND TRCP'S POLICY COUNCIL PARTNERS FOR HILL AND ADMINISTRATION ADVOCACY. WE HAVE DEVELOPED 8 INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM FACT SHEETS AND ONE GENERAL FACT SHEET. THE TRCP WILL BE WORKING TO FINALIZE THESE FACT SHEETS, CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW BY THE 7 AWWG SUBCOMMITTEES, BY MID-DECEMBER. THESE PROGRAM FACT SHEETS, ALONG WITH THE AWWG PLATFORM, WILL BE SHOWCASED ON A NEW TRCP FARM BILL WEBSITE LANDING PAGE SLATED TO BE UNVEILED IN EARLY JANUARY AS PART OF OUR 2018 FARM BILL PUSH. THE AWWG WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COALITIONS TO DEVELOP ITS FARM BILL PRIORITIES AND TRCP CONTINUES TO WORK TO INCLUDE MANY OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AS PART OF OTHER CONSENSUS-BUILDING EFFORTS, INCLUDING THROUGH THE AGRICULTURE CONSERVATION COALITION, FORESTS IN THE FARM BILL, WETLAND CONSERVATION POLICY COALITION, CLEAN WATER FOR ALL, THE COLORADO RIVER COLLABORATIVE, AND A WILDLIFE-AGRICULTURE-CONSERVATION-CROP INSURANCE COALITION. THIS IS A STRONG START TO COALITION-BUILDING AROUND KEY CONSERVATION ISSUES. MANY OF OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE ALSO MIRRORED OUR LANGUAGE IN THEIR OWN PLATFORMS TO ENSURE A CONSISTENT APPROACH WITH CONGRESS. THE TRCP HOSTED OUR 15TH ANNUAL (MID) WESTERN SUMMIT AT THE END OF AUGUST IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN. THE MEDIA SUMMIT FOCUSED ON THE WAYS THE FARM BILL INFLUENCES HABITAT AND WATER CONSERVATION, RECREATIONAL ACCESS, AND RURAL ECONOMIES, AS WELL AS HOW PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LANDS (AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE) INTERSECT AND INTERACT TO CREATE A LANDSCAPE OF CONSERVATION. DURING THE SUMMIT WE ALSO HOSTED A FARM TOUR FOR OUR MEDIA CONTACTS AND PARTNERS WITH A FOCUS ON LAND ENROLLED IN THE CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP), AS WELL AS WORKING LANDS WHERE FARM BILL PRACTICES SUCH AS NO-TILL FARMING AND COVER CROPS ARE BEING UTILIZED TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY. WE ALSO VISITED A DAIRY FARM, WHERE ROBOTIC INNOVATIONS AND MANURE STORAGE AND SEPARATION EQUIPMENT ARE DESIGNED TO HELP WITH THE STATE'S WATER QUALITY CHALLENGES WHICH HAVE IMPACTS DOWN TO THE GULF OF MEXICO. IN OCTOBER 2017, THE TRCP, WITH KEY PARTNERS INCLUDING THE NATIONAL BOBWHITE CONSERVATION INITIATIVE, IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE OF AMERICA, PHEASANTS FOREVER, IOWA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND THE IOWA NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE, HOSTED A FARM TOUR FOR CONGRESSIONAL STAFF FROM THE STATE'S DELEGATION OFFICES. THE TOUR INCLUDED STAFF FROM BOTH SENATE OFFICES AND THE LOCAL CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OFFICE AND INCLUDED FARMS NEAR DES MOINES WITH FARM BILL CONSERVATION PROJECTS BENEFITTING WILDLIFE HABITAT AND CONTRIBUTING TO WATER QUALITY AND NUTRIENT POLLUTION REDUCTION. IN NOVEMBER 2017, THE TRCP HELD A RETREAT FOR OUR POLICY COUNCIL IN BURAS, LA. OVER TWO DAYS, USING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN AS A PRIMARY LENS FOR POLICY DISCUSSION, WE DEVELOPED NEXT STEPS FOR A COMMUNITY-WIDE, COORDINATED FARM BILL CAMPAIGN, AND ALSO TOUCHED ON INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY, COASTAL RESTORATION, AND CLEAN WATER CAMPAIGN TACTICS. CENTER FOR WATER RESOURCES (CWR): THE CWR HAS A POLICY AGENDA DEVELOPED IN COOPERATION WITH THE WATER WORKING GROUP, THROUGH STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH, AND WITH FEEDBACK FROM THE TRCP POLICY COUNCIL. THE TWO MAIN PILLARS OF THE CENTER AGENDA ARE (1) TO PROMOTE FEDERAL WATER CONSERVATION FUNDING; (2) TO IMPROVE THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE SPORTING COMMUNITY IN FEDERAL DECISION MAKING RELATED TO WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND, SPECIFICALLY, AROUND SOLUTIONS TO CURRENT AND IMPENDING WATER SUPPLY CHALLENGES; AND 3) EDUCATE AND GENERATE SUPPORT FOR RESTORING PROTECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN LOST FOR OUR NATION'S WETLANDS, STREAMS, LAKES AND HEADWATERS. TRCP'S CENTER FOR WATER RESOURCES CONTINUES TO PLAY A KEY ROLE IN ADVOCATING FOR POLICY CHANGES AND PROGRAMS THAT RESTORE AND CONSERVE FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AS WELL AS ACCESS FOR HUNTERS AND ANGLERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ALREADY A LEADING ORGANIZATION IN COLORADO RIVER BASIN WATER MANAGEMENT AND THE SPORTSMEN AND CONSERVATION COMMUNITIES' RESPONSE TO THE ADMINISTRATION'S EFFORTS TO REPLACE THE CLEAN WATER RULE, WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR CENTER'S EFFORTS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN THE SOUTHEAST. CLEAN WATER ACT IN 2017, WE SAW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONTINUING ITS ATTEMPT TO REPEAL AND REPLACE THE CLEAN WATER RULE. IN THE FALL, THE EPA AND THE ARMY CORPS CONDUCTED A SERIES OF LISTENING SESSIONS AND OPENED AN INTERIM DOCKET WHERE INTERESTED STAKEHOLDERS COULD SUBMIT COMMENTS BEFORE THE STEP 2 COMMENT PERIOD BEGAN. TRCP TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY BY SPEAKING ON THE HUNTER AND ANGLERS LISTENING SESSION AND SUBMITTING TWO COMMENT DOCUMENTS. MEANWHILE, THE ADMINISTRATION IS HOPING THAT CONGRESS WILL ALLOW THEM TO REPEAL THE RULE WITHOUT FURTHER PROCESS. THEY RECEIVED OVER 500,000 COMMENTS ON THEIR REPEAL PROPOSAL, MOST OF THEM OPPOSED. BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE PROPOSED ALLOWING THE ADMINISTRATION TO REPEAL THE RULE WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT. AND THE AGENCIES HAVE NOW OPENED ANOTHER LINE OF ATTACK PROPOSING TO DELAY THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE 2015 CLEAN WATER RULE FOR TWO YEARS. THE TRCP WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN THE PROCESS. COLORADO RIVER BASIN WE NEED TO SOLVE THE IMBALANCE BETWEEN WATER SUPPLY AND DEMAND ACROSS THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN TO PROTECT THE REGION'S HUNTING AND FISHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE LONG-TERM. OFTEN, THIS CAN MEAN WORKING ON AGREEMENTS THAT ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY RELATED TO SPORTSMEN INTERESTS. ONE OF THREE SUCH IMPORTANT DEALS WAS SIGNED IN LATE SEPTEMBER AN AMENDMENT TO THE US MEXICO TREATY FOR SHARING COLORADO RIVER RESOURCES. IN ADDITION, CALIFORNIA MADE A ROBUST COMMITMENT TO SAVE THE SALTON SEA, AN IMPORTANT STOP ON THE PACIFIC FLYWAY FOR MIGRATORY BIRDS (ALTHOUGH IT WILL NEED VOTERS TO APPROVE A WATER BOND IN 2019). THESE TWO MILESTONES PAVE THE WAY FOR ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA TO SIGN A DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN, AND FOR ARIZONA TO SETTLE ITS INTERNAL WATER DISPUTES AND MOVE TOWARDS A FUTURE OF USING LESS WATER. THE "DCP" SHOULD TAKE PRESSURE OFF ICONIC FISHERIES IN COLORADO AND WYOMING, AND MAY EVEN ENABLE THOSE STATES, ALONG WITH UTAH AND NEW MEXICO, TO CONSERVE AND THEN "BANK" THE CONSERVED WATER IN WAYS THAT BOTH TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE NEED FOR NEW DAMS AND PIPELINES, BUT ALSO ACTUALLY IMPROVE SOME STREAM FLOWS. TRCP AND ITS ALLIES ARE WORKING TO GET THE PARTIES TO FINALIZE THIS ARRANGEMENT AND MOVE TOWARDS IMPLEMENTATION. CENTER FOR MARINE FISHERIES (CMF): THE CENTER FOR MARINE FISHERIES CONTINUES TO PLAY A LEADING ROLE IN THE SPORTFISHING AND CONSERVATION COMMUNITY IN ADVOCATING NATIONALLY FOR FISHERIES LAWS AND POLICIES THAT BETTER RECOGNIZE THE NEEDS, CULTURE AND VITAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF RECREATIONAL SALTWATER FISHING AND IN RESTORING THE HABITATS AND IMPROVING WATER QUALITY IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND THROUGHOUT THE GULF OF MEXICO REGION. THE CENTER AND TRCP POLICY STAFF WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNERS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SPORTFISHING AND BOATING COMMUNITY TO ADVANCE LEGISLATION ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL THAT INCORPORATES THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE COMMISSION ON SALTWATER FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN THE REPORT "A VISION FOR MANAGING AMERICA'S RECREATIONAL SALTWATER FISHERIES." TRCP WORKED WITH ITS PARTNERS AND THE RECREATIONAL FISHING COMMUNITY AT LARGE CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT 2017 IN A WORKING GROUP TO HELP DEVELOP AND WRITE LEGISLATION AIMED AT AMENDING THE MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT. CALLED THE "MODERNIZING RECREATIONAL FISHING ACT OF 2017" THE BILL WAS INTRODUCED IN EARLY APRIL IN THE HOUSE AND IN JULY IN THE SENATE AND ENJOYS BROAD, BI-PARTISAN SUPPORT. THE BILL SEEKS TO ADDRESS SEVERAL SHORTCOMINGS IN THE MAGNUSON ACT RELATED TO RECREATIONAL FISHING INCLUDING REQUIRING NOAA TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC GUIDELINES ON EXAMINING ALLOCATIONS BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND RECREATIONAL FISHING, ALLOWING NOAA FISHERIES TO EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE MANAGEMENT APPROACHES THAT BETTER FIT RECREATIONAL FISHING AND ALLOW FOR MORE CONSISTENT SEASONS YEAR TO YEAR, CURBS THE CREATION OF INDIVIDUAL FISHING QUOTAS IN MIXED SECTOR FISHERIES AND EXPANDS DATA COLLECTION EFFORTS ON FISH STOCKS AND RECREATIONAL HARVEST. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONTINUED): | TRCP CENTER FOR MARINE FISHERIES DIRECTOR CHRIS MACALUSO TESTIFIED IN SUPPORT OF THE "MODERN FISH ACT" BEFORE THE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE ON WATER POWER AND OCEANS IN SEPTEMBER. HIS TESTIMONY WAS WELL-RECEIVED BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND APPLAUDED BY TRCP PARTNERS. MACALUSO AND TRCP POLICY STAFF HAVE CONTINUED TO MEET WITH CONGRESSMEN AND STAFF TO ADVANCE THE LEGISLATION IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE AND EXPECT VOTES IN HOUSE AND SENATE COMMITTEES BY LATE THIS YEAR OR IN EARLY SPRING OF 2018. THE TRCP CONTINUES TO FOCUS HEAVILY ON THE RESTORATION OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA AND THE EVERGLADES, WORKING WITH PARTNERS AND OTHER SPORTSMEN GROUPS, THE CONSERVATION COMMUNITY AT LARGE AND STATE AND FEDERAL LAWMAKERS AND POLICY MAKERS TO ADVANCE RESTORATION EFFORTS, ORGANIZE GRASSROOTS SUPPORT AND HELP EXPEDITE PASSAGE OF CRITICAL LEGISLATION AND FEDERAL PERMITS ASSOCIATED WITH ADVANCING RESTORATION IN BOTH AREAS. THE TRCP HOSTED ITS POLICY COUNCIL RETREAT IN EARLY NOVEMBER IN BURAS, LOUISIANA NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS WITH LOUISIANA OFFICIALS AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ABOUT FEDERAL PERMITTING ISSUES DELAYING CONSTRUCTION OF CRITICAL COASTAL RESTORATION EFFORTS IN IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA. THE TRCP ALSO AUTHORED A LETTER SIGNED BY A DOZEN ANGLING AND CONSERVATION GROUPS URGING HOUSE AND SENATE LEADERSHIP TO INCLUDE FUNDING FOR KEY PROJECTS IN EVERGLADES RESTORATION BE INCLUDED IN HURRICANE RECOVERY PACKAGES FOR AREAS DEVASTATED BY HURRICANE IRMA. THE TRCP ALSO WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH THE SPORTFISHING AND CONSERVATION COMMUNITY TO ADVANCE CONSERVATION-BASED MANAGEMENT OF ATLANTIC MENHADEN THROUGH CHANGES IN MENHADEN MANAGEMENT BY THE ATLANTIC STATES MARINE FISHERIES COMMISSION. THOUGH THE VOTE IN NOVEMBER DID NOT TURN OUT EXACTLY THE WAY THE SPORTFISHING AND CONSERVATION COMMUNITY WANTED, THE COMMISSION DID VOTE TO WORK TOWARDS ESTABLISHING ECOLOGICAL BASED MANAGEMENT OVERT THE COMING YEARS, GIVING THE TRCP THE CHANCE TO CONTINUE TO LEAD THE SPORTFISHING COMMUNITY IN ADVANCING ECOSYSTEM-BASED FORAGE FISH MANAGEMENT. CONSERVATION FUNDING: THE TRCP HELPS LEAD A COALITION OF SPORTSMEN AND CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS ON THE CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE OF CONSERVATION FUNDING. IN RECENT YEARS, THE BUDGET DEFICIT HAS TAKEN CENTER STAGE WITH POLICY MAKERS, AND THE TREND TO CUT FEDERAL SPENDING HAS TAKEN A DRAMATIC AND DISPROPORTIONATE EFFECT ON CONSERVATION PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PROGRAMS THAT HELP CONSERVE INTACT HABITAT OR PROVIDE CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONS HAVE ALL BEEN TARGETED FOR LARGE CUTS OR ELIMINATION. THROUGH THE WORK WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND AMONG OTHER ALLIES WE HAVE SEEN SOME TURN AROUND IN RECENT BUDGET REQUESTS. WHILE THERE REMAINS GREAT UNCERTAINTY BOTH IN CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION IN TERMS OF PRIORITIES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ACTION OF ANY KIND ON FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILLS OR FEDERAL LEGISLATION, THE TRCP HAS IDENTIFIED THREE KEY AREAS OF CONSERVATION FUNDING THAT WARRANT ENGAGEMENT IN 2017-2018: DEFENSE OF THE FEDERAL CONSERVATION BUDGET; DISASTER ASSISTANCE; AND INFRASTRUCTURE. WE HAVE ALSO RECENTLY ENGAGED IN SETTING PRIORITIES FOR DISASTER ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS FORMED A NEW WORKING GROUP TO ENGAGE ON INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING AND POLICY. ALL THREE AREAS OF CONSERVATION FUNDING WILL REMAIN OF IMPORT AS WE ROUND OUT 2017 AND HEAD INTO 2018 AND THE SECOND SESSION OF THE 115TH CONGRESS. DURING 2017, THE TRCP HAS LED REGULAR AVCRP CALLS TO PROVIDE A FORUM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER CONSERVATION FUNDING CAMPAIGN. THIS CAMPAIGN HAS FOCUSED ON OUTREACH TO BUDGET AND APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE STAFF TO GATHER INTEL AND DISCUSS NEXT STEPS TO ENSURE FEDERAL CONSERVATION FUNDING FOR FY2018 DOES NOT WITNESS CUTS IN ORDER TO OFFSET INCREASED SPENDING IN OTHER AREAS OF THE BUDGET SUCH AS FOR DEFENSE. THE TRCP LED FOUR APPROPRIATIONS LETTERS THIS YEAR IN CLOSE COORDINATION WITH OUR POLICY COUNCIL PARTNERS WITH A FOCUS ON THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, NOAA FISHERIES, U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. WE ALSO LED AVCRP LETTERS REQUESTING STRONG FUNDING FOR FUNCTION 300 - THE NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT PORTION OF THE FEDERAL BUDGET. THESE LETTERS WERE SENT TO THE PRESIDENT AND HOUSE AND SENATE LEADERSHIP. SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED VIA THE HURRICANE SANDY SUPPLEMENTAL IN 2013 WITH $100 MILLION DEDICATED TO A COASTAL RESILIENCY COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM, THE TRCP IS SUPPORTING EFFORTS BY PARTNERS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL FISH AND WILDLIFE FOUNDATION TO ENSURE THE NEXT HURRICANE SUPPLEMENTAL INCLUDES A DIRECTIVE AND/OR COMPETITIVE FUNDING STREAM FOR PROJECTS FOCUSING ON NON-STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS OR BLENDED NATURAL/BUILT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS (WETLANDS BUFFERS ADJACENT TO HIGHWAYS TO REDUCE STORM SURGES; FLOODPLAIN CONSERVATION COMBINED WITH BUILT SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS FLOODING IN COMMUNITIES). ADDITIONALLY, THE TRCP BELIEVES THE NEXT SUPPLEMENTAL SHOULD INCLUDE TARGETED FUNDING FOR "SHOVEL-READY" PROJECTS SUCH AS THOSE IDENTIFIED BY STATE COASTAL MASTER PLANS OR AS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN. AS PART OF THE NEXT DISASTER ASSISTANCE SUPPLEMENTAL PACKAGE AND BUDGET DEAL NEGOTIATIONS, WE HAVE WORKED WITH OUR PARTNERS TO PRESS FOR A DEAL ON FIRE FUNDING TO ADDRESS FIRE BORROWING THAT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE PROVISIONS ON FOREST MANAGEMENT REFORM. TRCP BELIEVES THE SPORTSMEN, CONSERVATION AND OUTDOOR RECREATION COMMUNITY HAS AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LANGUAGE TO PRIORITIZE AND FUND SOLUTIONS THAT ENCOMPASS BLENDED NATURAL AND TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE (WETLANDS BUFFERS ADJACENT TO HIGHWAYS TO REDUCE STORM SURGES; FLOODPLAIN CONSERVATION COMBINED WITH BUILT SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS FLOODING IN COMMUNITIES). ADDITIONALLY, SHOULD THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DECIDE TO PROMOTE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE, OUR COMMUNITY WILL NEED TO ENGAGE IN INFRASTRUCTURE NEGOTIATIONS ON THE HILL AND WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION IN AN ORGANIZED AND STRATEGIC WAY AND IDENTIFY KEY CONGRESSIONAL CHAMPIONS IN ORDER TO ADVANCE ANY PROVISIONS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN A FINAL INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE THAT WOULD COVER NON-TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE (I.E., TRAILS, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, BOAT RAMPS) AS WELL AS BLENDED INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS. TO ACHIEVE THESE PRIORITIES, TRCP ESTABLISHED A NEW TRCP INFRASTRUCTURE WORKING GROUP IN 2017. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH NFWF, OIA, NWF, TNC, AFWA AND DU THROUGH AN INFRASTRUCTURE STEERING COMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR DEVELOPING A SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS ON PROGRAMMATIC REQUESTS, INNOVATIVE FINANCING MECHANISMS, SUCH AS PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, AND POLICY CHANGES. OUR GROUP IS CLOSELY TRACKING COMMONSENSE PERMIT STREAMLINING THAT WOULD ENABLE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TO MOVE MORE QUICKLY WITHOUT SACRIFICING EFFECTIVE STEWARDSHIP OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. THROUGH THIS STEERING COMMITTEE, THE TRCP FINALIZED A LETTER AND SUBMITTED THIS TO THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS SETTING THE STAGE FOR OUR COMMUNITY'S PRIORITIES DURING A CONGRESSIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEBATE. THIS LETTER INCLUDED 38 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS OF TRCP'S POLICY COUNCIL. |
