officials, governmental agencies, including the Department of Fish
and Game, certain private entities, and other interested parties. The

options for securing stable, dedicated funding to support the state's

legislation that would enhance the effectiveness, accountability, and
capacity of the department to fulfill its public trust mission, take
steps necessary to fulfill specified policy goals, and identify
changes in organizational structure or statutory authorities that
would enable the department and the state to more efficiently and
effectively provide for the protection, conservation, and management
of the state's fish and wildlife.
