The INRMPintegrates all aspects of natural resourcemanagement at TRACEN Cape May, andidentifies management approaches thatwould benefit local ecosystems. TheINRMP was developed using aninterdisciplinary approach that solicitedinformation from a variety of Federal,state, and local agencies and groups. AnINRMP Focus Group was formed, whichincluded key Installation personnel andindividuals from various agencies andgroups that have an interest in TRACENCape May and the management of itsresources. Agencies involved in theprocess include U.S. Fish and WildlifeService and New Jersey Division of Fishand Wildlife Management. Properutilization of this Plan for theconservation of natural resources shouldnot impair the ability of the Installationto perform its mission(s).The EA concluded that theimplementation of the INRMP wouldnot have a significant, adverse impacton the environment
