Marine's new plan for Camp Pendleton

Article Abstract:

The Marine Corps has developed a plan to ensure that the rare plant and animal species that live on Camp Pendleton, CA, are not harmed by military operations. It seeks to protect beach, estuary, streamside and dune habitats that host the endangered tidewater goby, the arroyo toad, the southwestern willow flycatcher, the California least tern and the least Bell's vireo. The Corps is working closely with the Fish and Wildlife Service to develop and implement an ecosystem approach to base operations.

Meeting the Crucible Challenge

Article Abstract:

Officials at Camp Pendleton, CA, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) worked closely together to ensure that a new training course for recruits, called the 'Crucible Challenge,' would not jeopardize the base's rare wildlife. Camp Pendleton, the biggest Marine amphibious training facility in the western US, has engaged the FWS to help it develop a long-term plan to protect the base's rare species from military training operations.
