| Details: |
Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge is located along the Missouri River in the state of Missouri. Development on and around the lower Missouri River has contributed to huge reductions in riverine habitats and concurrent declines in fish and wildlife populations. The goal of the refuge's managment is to restore approximately 8 percent of the riverine habitat losses along the lower Missouri River. Some of the migratory birds that will benefit from the establishment and continued acquisitions of the Big Muddy NFWR include waterfowl, wading birds, shorebirds and neotropical migrants. Endangered species that are likely to occur on the Refuge are pallid sturgeon, decurrent false aster, bald eagle, piping plover, least tern, peregrine falcon, gray bat and Indiana bat. |
