Recreational Fishing Projects

<p><font size='3'><span><span style='font-family: Calibri; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;'>In July 2017, a Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) settlement was approved by the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. The NRDAR trustees, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Commonwealth of Virginia, are working to fund and complete restoration projects that will benefit the same types of natural resources that were injured for the future enjoyment of the community. </span></span><br /></font></p><p><font size='3'>This dataset shows the general locations of DuPont NRDAR restoration
projects related to creating or improving recreational fishing access/opportunities. The dataset was created as a
geographic representation of project locations within the impacted watershed to
indicate general location of ongoing or pending projects. This dataset should not be used
for legal purposes or to show precise locations. The dataset was created to
allow interested public to visualize target restoration locations and as a way
for the Trustees to share status updates for projects as they progress or
change. It is a graphical representation and has limitations of accuracy.</font></p>
