How many individuals may a permittee designate under the terms of the S401 permit?

The S401 permit allows a permittee to designate up to three individuals who are authorized to assist in the trapping activities outlined by the permit. This designation is crucial as it enables the coordination of efforts in compliance with wildlife management and conservation regulations. Each designated individual must be properly trained and adhere to the specific guidelines set forth to ensure responsible and lawful trapping practices. This allowance for multiple individuals helps facilitate effective and efficient operations while ensuring that all activities are conducted in a manner that supports wildlife conservation and management goals.
