The Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) potential at Navy and Marine air stations is a manageable hazard. Bird management measures are required to reduce hazardous bird/animal activity relative to airport flight operations. OPNAV requires commands to develop a BASH plan that would be implemented as a bird/animal conflict occurs. This information is provided to assist your command in setting up a local BASH Reduction Plan.  Some of the services we provide on our web site include guidance to develop and find the people that will help establish a comprehensive BASH Plan, a list of references, and outlines of the responsibilities of different command instructions and BASH Reduction Plans.
