Lists of species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) are powerful tools for revealing shared conservation priorities, enhancing collaboration, and securing additional conservation funding. In the northeastern US, such a list has served as a foundation for multi-state collaborations for conservation implementation.States in the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) region have identified 6,682 SGCN in their wildlife action plans. Collaboratively developing a more targeted list of regional SGCNs will reflect shared conservation values and stewardship responsibilities, encourage cross-state work on those priority species, and substantively contribute to realization of the Southeast Conservation...
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystems in the southeastern United States have declined substantially from an estimated 92 million acres in the pre-Columbian time period to 4.3 million acres at present, largely due to agricultural conversion, urbanization and replacement by other forest types, notably loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). The open landscape character of longleaf pine ecosystems is characterized by a lower carbon stocking and prairie-like understory dominated by grasses and low woody vegetation . Lower carbon stocking combined with greater drought tolerance in longleaf pine suggest that longleaf pine stands generally consume less water relative to loblolly pine and slash pine dominated stands. The...
This project will supply data to support various components of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy’s (SECAS) Southeast Conservation Blueprint (Blueprint). SARP routinely compiles data, analyzes, and priorities aquatic barriers and all areas covered by the Blueprint except for West Virginia and the US Virgin Islands. These data and subsequent analyses are utilized by SECAS to derive a network complexity indicator. This project will enable SARP to provide a more complete assessment for West Virginia to make it more comparable to the rest of the Southeast. Additionally, SARP will provide barrier information for the US Virgin Islands so that SECAS can expand the network complexity analysis to the Caribbean...

This project is a continuation of Service efforts related to Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (JEDIA) to elevate inclusive engagement of historically underrepresented individuals, families, academic institutions, and communities, while also enhancing our internal culture and increasing our effectiveness to support the conservation of fish and wildlife.

The Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) and Southeast Blueprint Blueprint continue to build on years of investment by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and partners to develop, refine, and apply conservation blueprints to advance on-the-ground conservation actions across the region. Astute Spruce, LLC and the USFWS collaborated closely in the first phase of this project “Enhanced User Engagement with Conservation Blueprints in the Southeastern U.S.” (F19AC00609) to develop a pilot version of the Southeast Conservation Blueprint Explorer specifically intended to make it easier to access, engage with, and interpret the Southeast Conservation Blueprint and underlying sub-regional conservation...
The Southeastern United States is a biodiversity hotspot that is threatened by a variety of anthropogenic influences, including urbanization and climate change. Of the 65 plants that have vanished in North America since European settlement, 25 (40%) have been from the Southeast. The Southeastern Plant Conservation Alliance (SE PCA) seeks to develop a Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list for plants to inform conservation strategies and conduct conservation status assessments and ranking updates for priority species. This list is needed to communicate shared priorities between agencies andother conservation partners. It can be referenced in State Wildlife Action Plan revision and implementation...
This project will utilize social network analysis and complementary methods to build and share actionable information about the diverse partnerships and networks that are organizing conservation and stewardship activities at the landscape scale across the Southeast region.AWARD ID: 4500125530START DATE: 08/20/2021END DATE: 12/31/2023SOURCE: Region 4 Science ApplicationsAMOUNT: $150,000PI: Shawn Johnson and Patrick BixlerCONTACT INFO: Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy; University of Montana; 32 Campus Drive; Missoula, MT 59812Office: 406-381-2904 Email: shawn.johnson@umontana.eduLEAD ORG: Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit; University of MontanaFWS PO: Mallory Martin
The USFWS Southeast Region’s joint Science Applications and Migratory bird program (SAMB) recently launched an effort to optimize operations to best achieve the objectives of the program. This effort developed a decision statement, established an objectives hierarchy, and identify possible measurable attributes to assess progress. The effort has been quite successful and well received, however there remain several task and analyses that will help solidify and complete the decision analysis effort. Here we will test the operability, (i.e., the practical capacity to collect these metrics on a regular basis to assess the state of the program and check progress towards goals). Additionally, SAMB needs the ability to...
Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations have suffered extensive declines in their native range due to habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. In the Southeast, brook trout are designated as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in GA, NC, SC, TN, VA, and WV and are an indicator of coldwater ecosystems in the Appalachian Mountains. This project seeks to take a manger-centric, co-production approach, to characterize how and why impacts on brook trout populations differ over space in the Southeast. This project will evaluate the robustness of GIS-derived landscape data to predict spatial variation in measured stream temperature and link thermal regimes to trout population stability over time....
Together in partnership with Mississippi State University (MSU) and locally based social scientists, U.S. Fish and WildlifeService (FWS) Southeast Region social scientists will identify and implement methods and tools within the social sciencesto address the most pressing priorities of the region, including enhancing public perception of decisions related tohabitat conservation and threatened, endangered, and at-risk species, effectively engaging historically underservedprivate landowners, and addressing climate change adaptation across the region, particularly in underserved urbancommunities. Social scientists within relevant organizations, institutions, and communities will be engaged as needed todevelop specific...
The atlas and registry will (1) address information gaps relative to seabirds in this region, one of the most heavily developed in terms of infrastructure but least monitored with respect to seabirds, (2) directly address a primary need identified by the GoMAMN Seabird Taxa Group in the recently released Guidelines (Chapter 6), and (3) complement recent efforts to develop similar products along the U.S. Atlantic coast. Please refer to the Final signed IAA and associated SOW for additional details.
This experiential project program will enhance science-based research and other collaborations between Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) and USFWS to contribute to the ongoing science needs of the Southeast Region and the development of tools that inform decision-making for regional and national conservation priorities. This project will be an important opportunity for student engagement and a potential recruitment tool to attract and retain historically marginalized students into USFWS-related careers.

The Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) is a shared, long-term vision for the lands and waters that sustain fish and wildlife populations and improve human quality of life in the southeast United States and Caribbean. SECAS Coordination must reach beyond the conservation community and engage sectors of society that affect change to the lands and waters valuable to fish and wildlife into the future. These relationships are needed to support the steps necessary to regionally plan, implement and evaluate actions that sustain habitat, mitigate threats, and adapt to an uncertain future for forest, fish and wildlife resources. The challenge ahead is to define a sustainable landscape for fish and wildlife...
