(1) "Managed wetland habitat" means artificially irrigated and intensively managed wetland habitat administered primarily for the benefit of waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species.
(2) "Best management practices" means management strategies jointly developed by the department, the State Department of Public Health, and mosquito abatement and vector control districts, in consultation with the Central Valley Habitat Joint Venture, for the ecological control of mosquitoes on managed wetland habitat.
(3) "Wildlife management area" has the same meaning as set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 1504.
(4) "Mosquito abatement and vector control district" has the same meaning as set forth in subdivision (f) of Section 2002 of the Health and Safety Code.

(2) (A) To reduce mosquito production at those wildlife management areas described in paragraph (1), the department shall consult with local mosquito abatement and vector control districts to identify those areas within wildlife management areas having the highest need for additional mosquito reduction through the implementation of best management practices.
(B) If the wetland occupies land outside the jurisdictional boundaries of a mosquito abatement and vector control district, the department may consult with the State Department of Public Health to determine which best management practices can be implemented in the absence of an organized local mosquito control program.
