27	MULTIPLE USE OF LANDS ADMINISTERED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME (Addendum) For the purposes of this policy, undue interference shall not mean that hunter and angler access to properties that would otherwise be available for access for passive recreational activities (i.e., bird watching, interpretive tours, etc.) is deemed to be necessarily incompatible. Further, hunting and fishing shall not be banned simply because a Department administered land was acquired primarily for the protection of various threatened and endangered species, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that such activities would be likely to have a detrimental effect on listed species on the property in question.
