The Northern States Bald Eagle Recovery Plan describes actions believed necessary to assure the survival and recovery of bald eagles in the 24 states encompassed by the Plan. The primary recovery objective is to reestablish self-sustaining populations of bald eagles throughout the Northern States Region. An initial, tentative goal is to have 1,200 occupied breeding areas distributed over a minimim of 16 states within the region by the year 2,000, with average annual productivity of at least 1.0 young per occupied nest.(from author's executive summary) Specific recovery tasks described in this plan fall into four categories: 1) Determine current population and habitat status. 2) Determine minimum population and habitat needed to achieve recovery. 3) Protect, enhance, and increase bald eagle populations and habitats. 4) Establish and implement a coordination system for information and communication (from author's executive summary)
