This report summarizes the methods and results of utilizing the Edwards to Gulf Conservation Blueprint to achieve specific tasks for various conservation entities. The goal of this effort is to provide real world examples of the use of our spatial products to ensure that stakeholders understand how to use and incorporate the blueprint into their own decision-making processes. This report covers a suite of demonstration projects that illustrate a variety of tasks likely to be of interest to the broader stakeholder community. These include using the habitat protection rankings to prioritize areas within a predefined focal area within the Edwards to Gulf region (Figure 1), mapping a route of least impact for a proposed pipeline, identifying potential focal areas, hotspots and corridors for incentive program outreach efforts, and prioritizing grassland management based on a given annual budget over a 10-year time period. Most of the demonstration projects presented here include synthesizing multiple outputs from the Edwards to Gulf Conservation Blueprint to meet stakeholder needs, which is likely to be a common prerequisite for stakeholders using the blueprint to conduct detailed analyses. However, to facilitate use of the conservation blueprint, some of the synthesized products discussed in this report were subsequently added to a new DataBasin gallery.
