  1. Conservation blueprint Overview, uses, and next steps

  2. Conservation blueprints A quick overview

  3. What does the SALCC do? Mission: Create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources

  4. Conservation blueprints • The idea is not new

  5. Conservation blueprints • The idea is not new • Florida’s CLIP • SWAPs • TNC ecoregional assessments • EPA National Ecological Framework • SAFMC Essential Fish Habitat

  6. Conservation blueprints

  7. TNC definition of blueprint • “ Conservation Blueprint • The primary product of this ecoregional assessment can be considered a conservation blueprint—a vision for conservation success—to guide the basin’s public land managers, land and water conservation organizations, private landowners, and others in conserving natural diversity within this ecoregion.”

  8. TNC blueprint steps 1. Select indicators

  9. TNC blueprint steps 1. Select indicators 2. Set targets for indicators

  10. TNC blueprint steps 1. Select indicators 2. Set targets for indicators 3. Assess viability of indicator occurrences

  11. TNC blueprint steps 1. Select indicators 2. Set targets for indicators 3. Assess viability of indicator occurrences 4. Identify and design a portfolio of areas of biological significance

  12. TNC blueprint steps 1. Select indicators 2. Set targets for indicators 3. Assess viability of indicator occurrences 4. Identify and design a portfolio of areas of biological significance 5. Identify threats to indicators at conservation areas and identify action steps to conserve the portfolio

  13. So what’s different from past efforts?

  14. So what’s different from past efforts? • Planning for the cooperative not any one organization

  15. So what’s different from past efforts? • Planning for the cooperative not any one organization • This is an adaptation strategy (incorporating climate change, urban growth, and other future changes)

  16. March 11 letter to President Obama • “In the future, fish and wildlife will need a network of interconnected habitats and migration corridors to survive and thrive” • American Fisheries Society • American Fly Fishing Trade Association • Bass Anglers Sportsmen Society • Ducks Unlimited • Izaak Walton League of America • Quail Forever • Pheasants Forever • Trout Unlimited • Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership • Wildlife Management Institute

  17. So what’s different from past efforts? • Planning for the cooperative not any one organization • This is an adaptation strategy (incorporating climate change, urban growth, and other future changes) • Bigger scope and scale

  18. So what’s different from past efforts? • Planning for the cooperative not any one organization • This is an adaptation strategy (incorporating climate change, urban growth, and other future changes) • Bigger scope and scale • New technology means blueprint will be more efficient and more integrated across resources

  19. Integrated planning A blueprint for integrated terrestrial, freshwater, and marine conservation in Cook Inlet Basin, AK

  20. Cook Inlet basin • 9.4 million acres • Lots of people (for AK) • Notable for populations of top predators, migratory waterfowl, marine mammals, and salmon

  21. Cook Inlet basin • “Rapid” population growth • Tourism, timber, and fishing are major industries • Ownership is a mix of state (51%), private (34%), and federal (15%) lands

  22. Some of their Indicators and targets • Indicator:Number of Lynx, Target: Viable population • Indicator:Acres of black spruce and open peatlandTarget:30% of historic area protected • Indicator:Acres of protected shorebird aggregation areas Target:30% of known areas protected

  23. Working on version 2.0 • Version 1.0 (2003) was not selective enough

  24. Working on version 2.0 • Version 1.0 (2003) was not selective enough • Working now on being more selective and efficient

  25. Integrated planning • We usually “stack” layers

  26. Integrated planning • We usually “stack” layers • This is easier but not as efficient

  27. Integrated planning • We usually “stack” layers • This is easier but not as efficient • More integration = more bang for the buck

  28. Not integrated • Separate planning • 3.5 million acres included

  29. Integrated • Integrated planning • Same result with only 2.5 million acres

  30. Why does this happen? Imagine we’re planning where to get lunch…

  31. Why does this happen? Imagine we’re planning where to get lunch… Let’s go to Larry’s Subs Let’s go to Soups R Us Let’s go to Salad Land

  32. Why does this happen? What about Maurine’s subs, soups, and sandwiches? I get a good sub I get a good soup I get a good salad

  33. Implementation Examples of how the SALCC blueprint could be used

  34. So what’s different from past efforts? • Planning for the cooperative not any one organization • This is an adaptation strategy (incorporating climate change, urban growth, and other future changes) • Bigger scope and scale • New technology means blueprint will be more efficient and more integrated across resources

  35. Case 1: Finding the best places to work together

  36. Case 2: Bringing in new conservation dollars

  37. Case 3: Guiding infrastructure development

  38. Case 4: Creating incentives as an alternative to regulation

  39. Case 5: Bringing landscape perspectives for local adaptation efforts (how do I fit in?) • Climate adaptation strategies are landscape scale! • Biodiversity management in the face of climate change: A review of 22 years of recommendations

  40. Case 6: Responding to major disasters

  41. Making it happen Developing the SALCC blueprint

  42. Three steps to a blueprint • Indicators and targets

  43. Three steps to a blueprint Indicators and targets What happens to indicators if we do nothing (South Atlantic 2050)

  44. Three steps to a blueprint • Indicators and targets • What happens to indicators if we do nothing (South Atlantic 2050) • Future landscape models complete • Models done for most indicators

  45. Three steps to a blueprint • Indicators and targets • What happens to indicators if we do nothing (South Atlantic 2050) • Spatially explicit map of how we’re going to keep those indicators “in the green”

  46. Three steps to a blueprint • Indicators and targets • What happens to indicators if we do nothing (South Atlantic 2050) • Spatially explicit map of how we’re going to keep those indicators “in the green” • Progress from OCS project but will likely be version 2.0

  47. Three steps to a blueprint • Indicators and targets • What happens to indicators if we do nothing (South Atlantic 2050) • Spatially explicit map of how we’re going to keep those indicators “in the green” • Progress from OCS project but will likely be version 2.0 • There are a few other good options to get a version 1.0
