Support habitat delivery based on bird conservation plans and tools for the Atlantic Coast region -USFWS -State agencies -BCR partners -ABC -Audubon -the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Conservation Business Strategy demonstrates the need for a strong partnership effort to reduce shorebird declines and identified key projects in the Flyway. - the shorebird strategy was created as partner effort, including JV staff and many partners. - the information in the shorebird strategy is being distilled for ACJV partners to allow them to garner support, as well as a product to guide land managers in using the strategy. - the shorebird strategy helps define priority species, areas, and strategies for land management activities on ACJV partner lands. - using the shorebird strategy can help justify funding needs to conduct projects. - it is critical to have involvement of more JV partners to ensure the habitat conservation and management projects succeed. access the strategy. identify what projects to be involved in and how justify their involvement in strategy-related projects. get funding support for projects (if needed). promote the shorebird strategy as the go-to document to guide shorebird conservation. 5.1 Participate in implementation of the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Conservation Business Strategy in the Atlantic Coast region -Tech Comm -BCR partners -State agencies - the Designing Sustainable Landscape tool, which includes habitat maps, data layers, and species-habitat models, identifies some of the most important areas for conservation - the DSL helps prioritize areas for conservation and make good decisions for delivering habitat on the ground. -access the DSL tool. -use the DSL tool to make decisions. 5.2 Use the “Designing Sustainable Landscapes” decision support tool for conservation -BCR partners -State agencies -USFWS -the IWMM is a model of the importance of different areas at the flyway scale to migrating and over-wintering wetland birds -the IWMM Flyway model could be used for funding decisions -the IWMM is an important example of the full cycle of Strategic Habitat Conservation. -the IWMM Flyway Model is useful for helping make decisions about allocating resources to wetlands -how to access the IWMM Flyway model. -how to apply the IWMM Flyway model in 5.3 Use the Integrated Waterbird Management & Monitoring (IWMM) results to guide wetland
