U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Mission
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others
to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats,
for the continuing benefit of the American people.
National Wildlife Refuge System Mission
The mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System is to administer a
national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management,
and, where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife, and plant
resources and their habitats within the United States for the benefit of
present and future generations of Americans.
This Comprehensive Conservation Plan describes programs that may
exceed future budget allocations and therefore does not constitute
specific commitments for future staff increases, project details, or
funding.

M.1 Terms and Phrases
1002 Area – Refers to a portion of the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
(Refuge, Arctic Refuge), identified in Section 1002 of the Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA) of 1980. Section 1002 of ANILCA further requires that studies
be performed within in the designated area to provide information to Congress such as a
comprehensive and continuing inventory and assessment of the fish and wildlife resources, and
an analysis of the impacts of oil and gas exploration, development, and production.
17(b) easement – Rights reserved to the United States for easements on or over Alaska
Native corporation land. These rights are reserved under 17(b) of the Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act (ANCSA) when the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) conveys land to a
Native corporation. These 17(b) easements may be 1) road or trail easements providing access
over private Native corporation land to public lands, including waterways, marine coastline,
and airports; 2) site easements, including temporary camping areas, trailheads, and vehicle or
boat parking and unloading; and 3) other uses, including utility lines or the fulfillment of
international treaty obligations.
Action – A management option that could be taken to address an issue. Actions are pieces of
an alternative.
Administrative activities – Any activities conducted for the Refuge by Refuge staff.
Administrative record – The “paper trail” that documents an agency’s decision making
process and forms the basis for the agency’s decision. It includes all materials directly or
indirectly considered by persons involved in the decision making process, including opinions or
information considered but rejected. The administrative record helps future managers
understand the evolution of the issue(s) and how decisions were reached and made.
Aeolian – Eroded material produced, carried by, or deposited by the wind.
Air operator – Blanket term for both “air-taxi” and “air transporter” (see Air taxi services
and Air transporter services).
Air quality–related value – Pertaining to protection of a resource identified by a Federal
land manager that may be adversely impacted by air quality changes in an area. Examples of
resources include visibility or a specific scenic, cultural, physical, geologic, biological,
ecological, or recreational resource.
Air-taxi services – A commercial service provider authorized by special use permit to provide
a specific type of air service. Air taxis provide services for all types of visitors, including
general hunters. They provide transportation services based on travel time and/or distance.
Hunters are incidental to their air-taxi business, and hunters are charged the same rate as
other clients (river rafters, backpackers, etc.). Air-taxis may also be licensed as transporters
and vice versa (see Air transporter services).
Appendix M: Glossary
M-4 Arctic Refuge Draft Revised Comprehensive Conservation Plan
Air transporter services – A commercial service provider authorized by special use permit to
provide a specific type of air service. Air transporters are licensed through the State of Alaska
according to 12 AAC 75.145. Air transporters are used almost exclusively by general hunters.
Air transporters offer fly-in services to hunters, and they directly target the business of
hunters through advertisements. A fixed rate is paid by each client to the air transporter for
all air transportation services needed, including that of gear and game meat. The air
transporter is usually responsible for determining the hunting location. Air transporters may
also be licensed as air-taxis and vice versa (see Air taxi services).
Alaska Friends groups – Formal groups of volunteers that are part of statewide associations
of conservation and education groups, and a national network of independent, non-profit
organizations.
Allocation system – Used for apportioning limited access among sector groups (see Sector
group) once use is limited. Allocation systems are only applied if user demand exceeds the
supply of recreation opportunities defined by a capacity (Whittaker and Shelby 2008) (see
Carrying capacity).
Allotment (land ownership) – Private lands within the Refuge that are owned, or have been
selected, by Alaska Natives as homesteads for themselves and their heirs per the Alaska
Native Allotment Act of 1906 or the Alaska Native Vietnam Veterans Allotment Act of 1998.
Allotment (recreation management) – Within the context of recreation management, the
apportionment of limited access among sector groups (Whittaker and Shelby 2008) [not to be
confused with Allotment-land ownership].
Allowed – Activity, use, or facility is allowed under existing National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) analysis, appropriate use findings, refuge compatibility determinations, and
applicable laws and regulations of the Service, other Federal agencies, and the State of
Alaska.
Alluvial – Silt, sand, clay, gravel, and other material deposited by flowing water.
Alluvial fan – A fan-shaped deposit of material formed where a fast-flowing stream slows and
spreads out onto a flatter plain.
Alternatives – Different sets of objectives and strategies or means of achieving Refuge
purposes and goals, helping fulfill the National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System)
mission and resolving issues.
Anadromous fish – A fish or fish species that spends portions of its life cycle in both fresh and
salt waters, entering freshwater from the sea to spawn. Includes the anadromous forms of
Pacific trout and salmon of the genus Oncorhynchus (rainbow and cutthroat trout; Chinook,
coho, sockeye, chum, and pink salmon), Arctic char, Dolly Varden, sheefish, smelts, lamprey,
whitefish, and sturgeon.
Anthropogenic – Human influences on the environment.
Appendix M: Glossary
Arctic Refuge Draft Revised Comprehensive Conservation Plan M-5
Appropriate use – A proposed or existing use on a refuge that meets at least one of the
following four conditions: 1) wildlife-dependent recreational use, as identified in the National
Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act; 2) contributes to fulfilling Refuge purpose(s), the
Refuge System mission, or refuge management plan goals or objectives (approved after
October 9, 1997, the date the Improvement Act was signed into law); 3) the take of fish and
wildlife under State regulations; or 4) a use otherwise found appropriate as specified in 603
FW 1.11.
Aufeis – Ice that forms from groundwater flow during freezing temperatures.
Base camp – A base camp serves as a center of operations and overnight accommodations for
people working in a remote part of the Refuge (e.g., Refuge staff, guides, and/or clients). A
temporary base camp is generally removed within 48 hours, though some operations (such as
Refuge field projects) have camps that can remain for extended periods. Base camps have the
potential to cause lasting physical impacts, since they often consist of larger tents than do
transient camps and, in limited cases, may use tent platforms or other rigid floors. The specific
details of a base camp used by permitted operations on Refuge lands would be spelled out in
the Refuge special use permit.
Baseline inventories – Initial surveys of plants, animals, or other elements of the biophysical
environment that acquire information not previously collected. Baseline inventories evaluate
current conditions and can be used for detecting changes occurring over time.
Batholith – A large irregular-shaped deposit of igneous rock formed from an intrusion of
magma, often granite, and exposed by erosion of less erosion-resistant rocks.
Bedrock – Unbroken rock that is either exposed or lies beneath soil or rubble.
Big-game guide – A person who is licensed by the State of Alaska to provide services,
equipment, or facilities to a big-game hunter in the field. A big-game guide accompanies or is
present with, personally or through an assistant, the hunter in the field. Guides must have a
special use permit to operate on a national wildlife refuge.
Bioacoustics – A branch of science concerned with the production of sound by, and its effects
on, living organisms.
Biological diversity – The variety of life and its processes, including the variety of living
organisms, the genetic differences among them, and communities and ecosystems in which
they occur.
Biological integrity – Biotic composition, structure, and functioning at genetic, organism, and
community levels comparable with historic conditions, including the natural biological
processes that shape genomes, organisms, and communities.
Biotic – Relating to living organisms.
Borough – A legally established geographic entity in Alaska, which the Census Bureau treats
as statistically equivalent to a county in other states.

Calcareous – Containing calcium carbonate.
Carrying capacity – Within the context of recreation management, a broad term that refers
to any visitor overuse or conflict issue. Recreation managers generally prefer the term Visitor
use capacity, because it provides a more focused definition (Whittaker and Shelby 2008) (see
Desired conditions, and Visitor use capacity.
Chert – Rock consisting of microcrystalline quartz.
Colluvial – Material that has accumulated at the base of a slope such as talus, avalanche
debris, gravel, and soil moved by soil creep and frost action.
Commercial air operator – A commercial service provider authorized by special use permit to
provide either air-taxi or air transporter services (see Air-taxi and Air transporter service).
Commercial guide – A commercial guide is an individual or business who is compensated, in
exchange for the service of guiding clients on the Refuge for recreational, hunting, or fishing
activities. Commercial guides are required to have a Refuge-issued special use permit, or be
employed by a business that has a special use permit, prior to conducting activities on the
Refuge.
Commercially-supported – Activities or users that are either guided, taxied, or transported
by a commercial permittee of the Refuge onto Refuge lands or waters.
Compatibility determination – A written determination signed and dated by the Refuge
manager and regional chief signifying that a proposed or existing use of a national wildlife
refuge is a compatible use or is not a compatible use.
Compatible use – A proposed or existing wildlife-dependent recreational use or any other use
of a national wildlife refuge that, based on sound professional judgment, will not materially
interfere with or detract from the fulfillment of the Refuge System mission or the purposes of
the national wildlife refuge.
Competitively awarded refuge permit – special use permits are issued competitively when a
limited number of permits are available. Currently only hunting guide permits are issued
competitively. The competitive process requires applicants to submit a detailed application,
which includes a description of personal qualifications and an operations plan. The Refuge
manager reviews all applications and selects the most qualified applicant. The number of
permits awarded is limited to the number of exclusive guide use areas available.
Comprehensive Conservation Plan – A document that describes the desired future
conditions of a refuge or planning unit and provides long-range guidance and management
direction to achieve the purposes of the refuge; helps fulfill the mission of the Refuge System;
maintains and, where appropriate, restores the ecological integrity of each refuge and the
Refuge System; helps achieve the goals of the National Wilderness Preservation System; and
meets other mandates.

Arctic Refuge Draft Revised Comprehensive Conservation Plan M-7
Comprehensive River Management Plan (CRMP) – A step-down plan that describes the
existing resource conditions of a river included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
The CRMP includes a detailed description of the river’s outstandingly remarkable values
(ORVs); addresses development of lands and facilities; defines the goals and desired conditions
for protecting river values; addresses user capacities; addresses water quality issues and
instreamflow requirements; reflects a collaborative approach with all stakeholders; identifies
regulatory authorities of other governmental agencies that assist in protecting river values;
and includes a monitoring strategy to maintain desired conditions (Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
16 U.S.C. 1271-1287).
Conglomerate – Rock consisting of pebbles or gravel embedded in finer cementing material.
Conservation system unit – Any unit in Alaska of the National Park System, National
Wildlife Refuge System, National Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems, National Trails System,
National Wilderness Preservation System, or a National Forest Monument, including existing
units, units established, designated, or expanded by or under ANILCA, additions to such
units, and any such unit established, designated, or expanded hereafter.
Controlled Use Area – Areas of Alaska defined in State fish and wildlife harvest regulations,
(passed by the State of Alaska Board of Game) that have specifically designated rules about
methods of access, methods of taking animals, or other provisions. For example, some areas
are closed to the use of motorized vehicles for hunting or transportation of hunters, their
hunting gear, and/or parts of game. Other areas are restricted to bow hunting only.
Conveyance document – Federal government documents that transfer land title to
individuals, Alaska Native corporations, and the State of Alaska. An Interim Conveyance
transfers title to unsurveyed land to Alaska Native corporations. A Tentative Approval
transfers title to the State of Alaska prior to survey of the land. A Patent or Land Patent
conveys legal title from the United States to surveyed land and/or mineral resources.
Conveyed lands – Legally owned lands. Under criteria established by the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) (Public Law [PL]92-203) in 1971, Native corporations were
able to obtain legal title to certain public lands by first selecting them.
Cretaceous – A geologic Period within the Mesozoic Era between 140 million and 65 million
years ago. The Cretaceous was a period of development of dinosaurs, flowering plants and
modern insects. The Period ended and the Cenozoic Era began with the K-T extinction event,
probably caused by a massive asteroid strike in the Yukatán Peninsula of Mexico. The event
was marked by widespread extinctions of numerous species on Earth including dinosaurs,
pterosaurs and large marine reptiles.
Critical habitat – A specific geographic area(s) that is essential for the conservation of a
threatened or endangered species and that may require special management and protection.
Critical habitat may include an area that is not currently occupied by the species but that will
be needed for its recovery.
Crustacean – A subphylum of (mostly) aquatic invertebrates related to insects with a body
segmented in three parts: the head, thorax and abdomen. Crustacea includes such species as
shrimp, brine shrimp, lobsters, crayfish, krill, copepods, amphipods, and barnacles.

M-8 Arctic Refuge Draft Revised Comprehensive Conservation Plan
Cultural resources – The remains of sites, structures, or objects used by humans in the
past—historic or prehistoric. More recently referred to as heritage resources.
Customary and traditional use – The Federal Subsistence Board decides which communities
or areas have customarily and traditionally used a species. Each wildlife management unit
lists these customary and traditional use determinations, along with season and bag limits.
When there is a positive determination for a specific community or area(s), only residents of
those communities and areas have a Federal Subsistence priority for that species in that unit
and are eligible to hunt or trap under the Federal regulations.
Deltaic fan – An alluvial fan located in the delta or outlet of a river.
Designated wilderness area – An area designated in legislation and administered as part of
the National Wilderness Preservation System (see Wilderness).
Desired conditions – Within the context of recreation management, “desired conditions” are
the physical, biological, or experiential qualities determined by managers to be important for
the perpetuation, enhancement, or restoration of recreational opportunities. Desired
conditions are most likely to be preserved when managers: 1) identify clear condition
objectives, 2) monitor conditions, 3) identify condition thresholds, and 4) pre-determine
management actions to prevent thresholds from being violated (Cole 2004) (see Carrying
capacity, and Visitor use capacity).
Desired future conditions – Within the context of planning, “desired future conditions” is the
future management direction of the Refuge that is focused on achieving the Refuge purposes,
legislative, and policy mandates. Articulating desired conditions helps management set the
Refuge on the proper trajectory to achieve its management vision.
Disperse – In biology, dispersion refers to the movement of young or newborn organisms
away from their natal area.
Displaced visitor – A visitor driven from a particular destination due to changed conditions or
management actions. The term “displaced visitor” within the context of protected wilderness
areas has typically implied those visitors who cease to visit a place because of an increase in
human use and evidence of human impact. Another kind of visitor displacement may occur
when management actions intended to benefit pristine conditions have the unintended
consequence of displacing visitors who value freedom and a lack of regulations more than
solitude or natural condition, and thus choose to go elsewhere or stay home (Hall and Cole
2002).
Dolomite – Rocks consisting largely of calcium magnesium carbonate.
Easement – A legal interest in land owned by another (i.e., a non-possessory property
interest) that entitles the holder of the easement to limited use of the land.
Ecoregion – A distinct area defined by environmental conditions, climate, landforms, soil
characteristics, and vegetation.
Ecosystem – A biological community together with its environment, functioning as a unit.

Arctic Refuge Draft Revised Comprehensive Conservation Plan M-9
Ecotone – Transition area between two adjacent but different patches of landscape, such as
forest and grassland. It may be narrow or wide, and it may be local such as the zone between a
meadow and forest, or regional as in the transition between forest and grassland ecosystems.
Eligible and suitable rivers – Rivers that are preserved for possessing outstandingly
remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar
values.
Endangered species – The Endangered Species Act (1973) protects both threatened and
endangered species. Any species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range.
Environmental education – Curriculum-based learning programs that may or may not occur
in a traditional educational setting that aim to teach people about the natural world and,
particularly, about ways in which ecosystems work (see Information, Interpretation, and
Outreach).
Environmental health – Composition, structure, and functioning of soil, water, air, and other
abiotic features comparable with historic conditions, including the natural abiotic processes
that shape the environment.
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) – Serves as an action-forcing device to insure that
the policies and goals defined in NEPA are infused into the ongoing programs and actions of
the Federal government. It provides full and fair discussion of significant environmental
impacts and informs decision makers and the public of the reasonable alternatives that would
avoid or minimize adverse impacts or enhance the quality of the
