This document represents the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Vision for a Healthy Gulf of Mexico Watershed. The scope is broad rather than detailed, and is intended to serve as a catalyst for discussions with partners on how and where to focus our collective restoration efforts in the wake of the largest oil spill in our nation’s history, which further devastated an already degraded ecosystem. This Vision articulates the Service’s science-based conservation priorities in the Gulf, in order to better collaborate and find synergies with others.
