National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Launches Effort to Protect Migratory Birds in Gulf

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) announced a project to provide wetland habitat for migratory birds affected by the Gulf oil spill. NFWF's Recovered Oil Fund for Wildlife invested $2.5 million in the project. The organization will join Ducks Unlimited and others to establish wetlands on private lands along the coasts outside of the spill area to provide millions of migratory birds with a natural habitat.
