Agency: Natural Resources

Line Item: Wildlife Resources Capital

Function

Large structural projects or habitat improvements are included in the Wildlife Resources -- Capital budget. They include projects such as fish hatchery reconstruction, shooting centers, or related structures. Currently there is only one active program in this line item: the Fisheries Program.

Intent Language

Under the terms of 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for the Wildlife Resources Capital line item in Item 12, Chapter 9, Laws of Utah 2011, shall not lapse at the close of FY 2012. Expenditures of these funds are limited to Capital Equipment/Improvements $800,000.

Performance

Amount of Fish Stocked: DWR's goal is to increase fish production and reduce the costs. The first measure tracks how much fish was raised in DWR's hatcheries each year.

Information on Hatcheries : The second measure tracks the number of hatcheries in operation, the number of species raised, and the average cost per pound of fish raised by DWR each year.

Funding Detail

Two dollars of each fishing license fee or combination license fee are deposited into the State Fish Hatchery Maintenance Restricted Account, which together with the earned interest, constitute the revenue source for this restricted fund. The federal funds generally come from the Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Dingell/Johnson program, designed to maintain all fisheries at a standard to meet the public needs.
