Anderson) Game management activities and services during the bienniuni were keyed to keep pace with the growing demand for hunting opportunities and to maintain game species and habitat in good, healthy condition. The department has made every attempt to provide a \\ ise use of the resource through research 'and sound management practices. As a result, game species are maintaining their numbers and in many cases increas- ing in spite of ever-increasing hunting pressures and record, or near-record, bags taken during the bien- niuni. To preserve and develop existing wildlife habitat and to provide greater hunting opportunities, the de- partment has requested jurisdiction over 542,903 acres of public lands under the U. S. Coordination Act of 1946. This act provides that public lands owned by the United States may be placed under administrative control of the state which dedicates them for wildlife and recreational uses. Plans of the department call for habitat development and construction of access roads on these lands if funds for such purposes become available. During the biennium, 40 miles of access roads were constructed, opening many thousands of acres of pub- lic lands to hunters. Among other activities of the branch during the biennium \\ere active participation in the work of the Pacific Flyway Council on waterfowl and close cooperation with Oregon and Nevada on problems relating to the interstate deer herds. The council, made up of representatives of the western states, makes rec- ommendations to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on seasons and bag limits and other waterfowl prob- lems of the flyway.
