MCB Camp Pendleton

Mike Tucker, federal game warden and wildlife biologist, explains the importance of the numerous game warden programs and services they provide on the installation. Tucker also explains how Marine Corps installations are required to administer environmental programs that ensure the protection of the environment and human health, and to improve and sustain mission readiness while complying with environmental requirements and regulations.

U.S. Marine Col. Jeffrey Holt, deputy commander for Marine Corps Installations West, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, and Emily Romig, a conservation law enforcement officer with the Camp Pendleton Game Warden's Office, speak about the various opportunities for hunting on Camp Pendleton.

With the dry conditions of summer, hundreds of animals visit Camp Pendleton's guzzlers (artificial water holes) each day. These guzzlers represent the oldest wildlife conservation program on base, with some spring fed troughs pre-dating the base. • Click for larger image

The Pacific Views Exchange sells all base fishing ($10) and hunting ($20) permits. The Game Warden's Office no longer sells fishing or hunting permits.

The Mission of the REC is to provide Camp Pendleton and Environmental Security with resource, cultural, environmental mission program support, and Conservation Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) investigations of specific violations. We also manage wildlife conflict, manage and administer the recreational hunting, fishing, dispersed-camping programs while providing quality of life to customers and ensuring compliance to applicable laws.

This is accomplished by providing base-wide CLEO responses, patrols and investigations into resource and environmental related violations along with providing technician support to minimize human/wildlife conflict on base while ensuring today’s and future generations of Marines, Sailors, their families and others are able to safely enjoy recreational camping, fishing, and hunting activities.
