Mission: The Blue Goose Alliance informs and educates individuals and organizations of the need to elevate the stature and strengthen the integrity of the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) by creating a separate agency for the Refuge System within the Department of the Interior.The System, nation's 3rd largest land managing agency, is administratively buried as one of numerous programs in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Because of its many diverse responsibilities, the FWS can offer leadership for Refuges only on a part-time basis. The NWRS, larger than the National Park Service, cannot compete in the same arena with other resource agencies for its fair share of funds to meet its responsibilities. Several major studies over the past 30 years have recognized organizational deficiencies as a major problem for the NWRS. But, internal reorganization efforts have been ineffective. These same studies have suggested separate agency status as the ultimate solution.
