About Us
The coastal habitats conserved at Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge are some of the most beautiful and biologically rich places in the world.
What We Do
Refuges use a wide range of land management tools based on the best science available. The management tools used are aimed at ensuring a balanced conservation approach where both wildlife and people will benefit. At Humboldt Bay NWR, management activities focus on research and monitoring of refuge wildlife and on protection and maintenance of a natural, functioning ecosystem. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service coordinates with tribes, other agencies and entities, and the public to ensure the long-term health and viability of native plant and animal populations.
