As a young boy in the 1960s, John Hartig relished his days spent
fishing in the Detroit River in southeast Michigan. Today, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service announced that the 51 year-old Trenton,
Mich., native will become the first full-time refuge manager at the
Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge.
Hartig begins his new job July 10. As refuge manager, he will
oversee operations on North America's only international wildlife
refuge which will conserve, protect and restore habitat for 29
species of waterfowl, 65 kinds of fish and 300 species of migratory
birds on more than 5,000 acres along the lower Detroit River in
southeast Michigan. Hartig replaces Doug Brewer who was on
temporary assignment from Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge in Ohio.
Until a more permanent refuge office can be established, Hartig
will be stationed at the Environmental Protection Agency's Large
Lakes Research Station on Grosse Ile.
" I'm thrilled to be a member of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and help shape the future of this magnificent resource," Hartig
said. "The Detroit River refuge is a huge source of community
pride. Over the decades, many local residents have lost their
connection to the outdoors. The refuge is helping people to
reconnect to the river and its resources. Best of all, there is a
huge base of local support for the refuge and what it brings to
southeast Michigan."
Hartig brings more than 25 years of experience in environmental
science and natural resource management to his new position. For
the past five years, he has served as River Navigator for the
Greater Detroit American Heritage River Initiative. As River
Navigator he worked with Detroit River communities and businesses
to identify and implement high priority projects that foster
environmental stewardship, promote environmentally sustainable
economic development, and celebrate history and culture. Prior to
becoming River Navigator, he spent 14 years working for the
International Joint Commission on the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water
Quality Agreement.
" I have enjoyed being Detroit River Navigator and it's good to
know that the momentum we have achieved for the American Heritage
River (AHR) will continue under the direction of the Metropolitan
Affairs Coalition (MAC)," Hartig said. "As refuge manager I see MAC
and its AHR Initiative as a valuable partner in collaborating to
enhance the river and wildlife habitat."
He has authored or co-authored more than 70 publications on the
Great Lakes, including co-editing the book, "UNDER RAPS: Toward
Grassroots Ecological Democracy in the Great Lakes Basin" and a new
book, "Honoring Our Detroit River, Caring for Our Home." John has
received numerous awards for his many years of work on Great Lakes'
issues including the 2003 Anderson-Everett Award from the
International Association for Great Lakes Research, the 2003
Community Luminary Award from the DTE Energy Foundation, and the
1993 Sustainable Development Award for Civic Leadership from Global
Tomorrow Coalition.
" John brings very unique talents to a unique wildlife refuge.
We're fortunate to have him as part of the Service's refuge team."
said Barry Christenson, area refuge supervisor for the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service's Great Lakes-Big Rivers Region headquarters
in Minneapolis, Minn.
The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge was established in
December 2001. The refuge is the result of an unprecedented
partnership of government agencies, businesses, conservation
groups, landowners and private citizens on both sides of the
border. Located at the intersection of the Atlantic and Mississippi
Flyways, an estimated three million ducks, geese, swans and coots
migrate annually through the region. More than 300,000 diving ducks
stop each year to feed on wild celery beds in the river. Despite
being a heavily traveled corridor for Great Lakes' shipping, the
Detroit River is also known for its duck hunting and fishing,
activities the Service plans to continue on parts of the refuge.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency
responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife
and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the
American people. The Service manages the 95-million-acre National
Wildlife Refuge System, which encompasses 544 national wildlife
refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other special management
areas. It also operates 69 national fish hatcheries, 63 Fish and
Wildlife Management offices and 81 ecological services field
stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, administers
the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations,
restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores
wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments
with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal
Assistance program, which distributes hundreds of millions of
dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state
fish and wildlife agencies.
