Summary

Lake Erie Western Basin International Wildlife Refuge Establishment Act - Establishes the Lake Erie Western Basin International Wildlife Refuge (Refuge), Michigan and Ohio. Includes the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and the Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge within it. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) revise Refuge boundaries to carry out its purposes or to facilitate the acquisition of property; and (2) acquire by donation, purchase, or exchange the lands and waters or interests within such boundaries. Provides for transfers from other agencies. Requires the Secretary, acting through the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to conduct a study of fish and wildlife habitat and aquatic and terrestrial communities of the Maumee River. Directs the Secretary to: (1) administer all federally owned lands, waters, and interests within the Refuge; (2) ensure that hunting, fishing, wildlife observation and photography, and environmental education and interpretation are the priority public uses of the Refuge; and (3) encourage Ohio to use existing authorities under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century to provide funding for acquisition and development of trails within the Refuge. Authorizes the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements regarding non-Federal lands.
