CHAPTER VI: REVIEW AND REVISION OF MISSISSIPPI’S CWCS 313
T he USFWS requires establishment of procedures to review the CWCS at intervals not to exceed ten
years. MDWFP proposes to complete a comprehensive revision of the CWCS in ten years (by 2015)
with an interim five-year review for certain species and habitats identified by the Technical Committee
and Expert Team as likely to benefit from or require a shorter review period. In addition, we recognize
that for this CWCS to meet its intended goal to improve biodiversity in Mississippi we must consider
Mississippi's CWCS “a living document” and process, and we must continually update, refine and revise
the data and recommendations herein. Thus, it is our intention to review, evaluate and update sections
annually where possible. In order to accomplish this MDWFP further proposes to enlist the assistance of
the CWCS Advisory Committee in the annual, five and ten-year review process by making this
Committee a long-term standing committee along with the Technical and Steering Committees
originally established for this process. The continued involvement of the Advisory Committee will allow
MDWFP to collaborate with its many existing and potential conservation partners and interested
stakeholders in the future development of the CWCS and to further refine and improve this CWCS with
their assistance and guidance.This review process will be synchronized with MDWFP's annual budget planning cycle. MDWFP will
also use its existing annual performance reports for Federal Aid projects and State Wildlife Grants
(SWG) funds to document progress on CWCS-related activities.
