This bill would create a new Goshen Bay Waterfowl Management Area on state-owned lands along the southern shores of Utah Lake, requiring the Division of Wildlife Resources to coordinate with the Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands and manage the area for wildlife habitat, wetland preservation, and public recreation such as hunting, fishing, trapping, and wildlife viewing, including access by airboats and other small watercraft. The substitute version adds a requirement that this management follow "multiple-use sustained yield" principles, an additional legal standard used elsewhere in state land management law that balances wildlife and habitat goals with other compatible uses of the land. The bill also formally adds Goshen Bay to the list of designated waterfowl management areas in state law alongside existing areas like Willard Spur and Bear River Bay.
