P.E.I. currently has two other branches, one based in Queens County and the other in Prince County. The SAB has more than 180 members who represent the angling, hunting, conservation, naturalist and community sectors. The goals of the SAB include: protection and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitats; watershed protection and restoration; education of the general public on wildlife and wildlife habitat; and the promotion of outdoor recreational sports. The SAB has been involved with the establishment of wildlife sanctuaries, wildlife habitat enhancement projects, erosion reduction and control projects, fish habitat enhancement projects, and watershed planning. The SAB has been recognized provincially by receiving a 2006 Provincial Environmental Award. This group has also been recognized as the first environmental organization on P.E.I. to develop a watershed plan endorsed by the community. The Souris River Watershed Management Committee, a sub-committee of the Souris & Area Branch of the P.E.I. Wildlife Federation (SAB), is specifically concerned with the quality of water resources within the Souris River drainage basin. The committee recognizes that healthy water resources are contingent on proper practices in all areas of the watershed. Keeping with this holistic approach, the watershed management committee has representatives from the aquaculture, agriculture, and forestry sectors, recreational and commercial fishery, Souris Wildlife Federation, municipal, provincial & federal governments and the community at large. The committee has developed strong contacts with the agricultural producers within the watershed who have been active participants in the watershed planning process.
