About this listen

This week in Game and Fish news across the United States, several state agencies are implementing significant changes and convening for important decisions. In Oregon, the Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced a conservation closure for razor clam harvesting along Clatsop beaches, which begins July fifteenth. The closure is part of ongoing efforts to protect local shellfish populations and ensure sustainable management practices. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission met July eleventh in The Dalles to discuss additional conservation measures.

In Arizona, the Game and Fish Commission and department have initiated a public rulemaking process to amend wildlife and licensing regulations. The proposed changes, announced on July eleventh, are intended to simplify procedures, clarify existing rules, and enhance public access to department services without increasing regulatory burden. Community members are invited to submit written or oral comments, with a public meeting scheduled for early September in Eagar, Arizona, to ensure that the regulatory overhaul reflects public input and current conservation needs.

Arkansas has also seen recent developments, with the Game and Fish Commission holding a meeting on July ninth in Little Rock to announce the appointment of a new commissioner. This leadership change comes as the commission continues to focus on local wildlife management, waterfowl reporting, and transparent communication through regular newsletters and meeting updates.

In New Mexico, the Department of Game and Fish is transitioning its Elk Private Land Use System, known as EPLUS, to an online platform, streamlining access and management for landowners and hunters. Over-the-counter licenses for the twenty twenty-five to twenty twenty-six season are now available, including for fishing and turkey. The department has also rescheduled leftover license sales and announced periodic closures of the Stephen M. Bush Memorial Shooting Range, demonstrating an increased focus on digital access and adaptive facility management.

At the federal level, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service continues its broad mandate to conserve and protect wildlife resources. The service operates more than five hundred sixty national wildlife refuges and seventy fish hatcheries nationwide. This month, the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force convened a virtual meeting, highlighting ongoing concerns about invasive species and their impact on native ecosystems. Meanwhile, the service is striving to maintain its operations despite challenges related to staffing and funding, as noted earlier this year by the National Wildlife Refuge Association, which expressed concern about mass employee terminations within the service that could undermine conservation efforts and habitat protection.

These updates reveal a pattern of adaptation among U.S. Game and Fish agencies, with a growing emphasis on public engagement, digital innovation, and regulatory review to meet persistent and emerging conservation challenges. Across the country, both state and federal agencies are working to ensure that wildlife resources are managed effectively for current and future generations.
