Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife with permanent protection as conservation lands. Harkness and DeMarco (2016) state that a historical review is an effective way to assess a community. History states that Winchendon was settled in 1752 by the Europeans, prior to this there is evidence, via early pathways, that the Native Americans where also once in this area although no settlements were found or recorded (White, 2015).

The Maryland Blue Crab, which is the most iconic creature of the Chesapeake, has decreased in population from 276 million in 1990 to 131 million in 2008. This dramatic decrease has caused a cumulative loss to both Maryland and Virginia of 640 million dollars. In an attempt to restore the blue crab population, Maryland and Virginia instituted a public policy to place restrictions on the crabbing of the Chesapeake. This is an example of a command and control policy because public authorities established direct controls on individual actions. This created harsh economic hardships for many crabbers, causing the Secretary of Commerce to decide that the blue crab fishery had undergone a commercial failure as it is defined under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act is the primary authority for fishery management in the United States and it created regional fishery management councils that attempt to establish limits on total catches and regulations. This failure

When referring to Scottish National Heritage, the general purpose of NNRs is to protect an area of important wildlife so that everyone can be proud and appreciative
