  3. National Fish Habitat Action Plan (2nd Edition)

  4. Action Plan Objectives Achieve measurable habitat conservation results through strategic actions of Fish Habitat Partnerships that improve ecological condition, restore natural processes, or prevent the decline of intact and healthy systems leading to better fish habitat conditions and increased fishing opportunities. Establish a consensus set of national conservation strategies as a framework to guide future actions and investment by the Fish Habitat Partnerships by 2013.

  5. Action Plan Objectives Broaden the community of support for fish habitat conservation by increasing fishing opportunities Fill gaps in the National Fish Habitat Assessment and its associated database to empower strategic conservation action supported by broadly available scientific information, and integrate socio-economic data in the analysis to improve people’s lives in a manner consistent with fish habitat conservation goals. Communicate the conservation outcomes.

  6. NFHP 501 C3 • Articles of Incorporation filed in DC • FHPs are automatically Chapters of the 501c3 • President-CEO model • Board selection lies with Fish Habitat Board • Next steps • Incorporation papers will be done ASAP • Over summer, Board looks for candidates • DC filing will go quickly and can be up and running rapidly • Can help FHPs immediately • Will be able to manage money for FHPs • Restricted funds dedicated to each FHP will be developed

  9. FHP Funding Allocation Starting in FY 2014, the Service will implement a competitive, performance-based process to allocate project funds. Each year the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will distribute project funds to FHPs in two categories: - 1) stable operational support and; - 2) competitive, performance-based funds to encourage strategic conservation delivery.

  10. Science and Data Assessment INLAND UPDATE (2015 Deliverables) 1. Updated scores and maps of fish habitat condition for the conterminous US, Alaska, and Hawaii 2. Game fish Data Incorporated 3. Comparison to 2010 results to see areas of alteration

  11. Marine Assessment Update (2015 Deliverables) 1.Catalog all FHP assessments completed or underway 2.Improve analytical basis of marine assessment to inland standards by incorporating all available fish and shellfish data and stressor relationships and addressing additional gaps 3.Incorporate additional spatial framework information for estuaries in Alaska 4.Incorporate additional spatial framework information for estuaries and nearshore-marine habitats in Hawaii 5.Develop an initial assessment of nearshore-marine habitats 6.Develop an initial assessment of offshore-marine habitats

  12. Marine Update (Continued)7.Determine how to incorporate process data using FHP demonstration projects 8.Add socioeconomic data to spatial framework 9.Incorporate available fisheries management and FHP objectives into the spatial framework 10.Develop inland-marine system scoring linkages 11.Incorporate the final Great Lakes assessment into overall Assessment 12.Attribute additional water quality data 13.Attribute additional mining and energy development data

  13. National Fish Habitat Conservation Act Bipartisan bill introduced in March Fact Sheet Created and call for support through Angling Groups EPW Markup

  14. Meeting Objective The NFHP would like to set national conservation objectives – how do we get there? Establish an inventory of conservation programs across the federal landscape
