What will happen?

You can check out a draft agenda here. You will be working with a diverse group of natural and cultural resource professionals to create version 2.0 of the South Atlantic Conservation Blueprint. The Blueprint is a consistent cross-boundary, cross-organization plan for how to respond to future changes in the South Atlantic region (Urban growth, Climate change, Sea-level rise, etc). You will be looking at potential strategies for responding to these changes and the trade-offs across each using the South Atlantic Ecosystem Indicators. The same activities will occur at each workshop so there is no need to go to more than one. More information about workshop activities and locations coming soon.

Blueprint 1.0 workshops (2013)

What happened at the workshops?
Around 200 people throughout the region worked in small groups to select subwatersheds (HUC12) to focus conservation efforts in South Atlantic area. Participants also selected specific types of conservation actions for each subwatershed and did a simple prioritization across all selected subwatersheds. Each group had a set of supporting GIS layers (e.g., South Atlantic LCC indicator models, threat layers, etc) to support the group’s discussions.
