The Southeast Conservation Blueprint is the primary product of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS). It is a living, spatial plan to achieve the SECAS vision of a connected network of lands and waters across the Southeast and Caribbean. Southeast Blueprint 2023 identifies priority areas based on a suite of 61 natural and cultural resource indicators representing terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. A connectivity analysis identifies corridors that link coastal and inland areas and span climate gradients. The Blueprint is regularly updated to incorporate new data, partner input, and information about on-the-ground conditions. The 2023 Blueprint expanded consistent methods and indicators...

These are the most important input layers for the project “Modeling Habitat Connectivity to Support State Wildlife Action Plans in the Mid-South.” Name: Known Prairie Patches in the GCPO Description: Polygons describing prairie patches from five states (Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas). This layer consists of 14,765 polygons totaling 54,419 acres. 14,595 polygon features were obtained from the Alabama Natural Heritage Commission (see Schotz and Barbour, Ecological assessment and terrestrial vertebrate surveys for Black Belt Prairies in Alabama, 2009). Arkansas prairie patch polygons were obtained by comparing prairies described by Adelman and Schwartz (Prairie Directory of North America, Oxford...
Real-time kinematic survey of the Lower Pearl River bathymetry collected in 2014 and 2015 using: •Leica Smartnet Network •GS 14 Rover •CS 15 Controller •Seafloor single beam echo sounder & transducer Acquisition Strategy: zig zag coverage - not more than ½ channel width between successive bank passes. Duration: surveyed in fall 2014 and 2015. Dates of acquisition are included for 2015 collected data but were not consistently recorded for 2014 collected data. All 2014 data were collected between Sep - Dec 2014. Ping rate: 2014: every sec 2015: every 5 ft of movement Spatial data includes bottom elevation in meters and an NHD area file that has been revised to more accurately reflect the channel configuration....

Abstract: The USFWS is working in partnership with NatureServe and Wildlife Diversity Committee of the Southeastern Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies to develop shared priorities for modeling of species distributions to support common decisions. In this project we will prioritize a suite of at-risk species and regional species of greatest conservation need. For those species we will collect available models, assess their quality for supporting decisions using a recently published rubric, and select a subset of species for developing new & improved models to support conservation decisions & actions. All models collected or produced will be made available via FWS websites (e.g. ECOS). Project Leader name and...
The Species Index for aquatic ecosystems is based on ranges of aquatic and amphibious species pulled from a list of 398 U.S. FWS Trust Species. Area of Influence (AOI) range maps for each species were pulled from the USFWS’ Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) system, stacked, and summarized within 5-mile hexagons. The resulting layer was then clipped to the Middle South subregion boundary and filtered to floodplain habitats. Continuous data is classified into 4 classes: 0 = N/A (Uplands) 1 = No suspected presence of these Trust Species 2 = 0-90th percentile of hexagons 3 = Top 10% of hexagons
This layer identifies terrestrial Broadly Defined Habitats associated with species of greatest conservation need as described in Wildlife Action Plans in the Mid-South region of the United States. Condition Index scores are assigned on a per-grid-cell basis at 30-meter resolution. Condition Index scores are derived from seven attributes related to desired condition metrics for specific habitats: 1) whether a targeted habitat is present, 2) patch size, 3) patch configuration or distance to nearest patch, 4) a site condition metric, such as basal area for forested landscapes, 5) a second site condition metric, such as overstory canopy cover for forested landscapes, 6) if targeted habitat not present, potential for...

Watersheds selected to comprise the study are for the project “Modeling Habitat Connectivity to Support State Wildlife Action Plans in the Mid-South.” This selection represents an expansion of the boundary of the Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GCPO LCC). The expansion process selected one or two counties in all directions and included the entire state of Louisiana. HUC12 level watersheds intersecting these counties were selected for the connectivity mapping project. The connectivity analysis is based on linking core areas of habitat most suitable for species identified in state wildlife action plans. Land units (30 meter grid cells) were given Condition Index scores derived from...
Ratio of cell CVI values to Max CVI combined from Terrestrial & Aquatic CVI Ration maps. Data sets were combined using a Max function: MAX(CVI_t, CVI_a).
Abstract: Nile monitors are established in the C-51 Basin in Palm Beach County. Nile Monitors have been confirmed as far east as I-95 along the C-51 and west to within 2 kilometers of Stormwater Treatment Area (STA) 1E and the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (Lox NWR). There have also been a number of observations along canals and in neighborhoods to the north and south of the C-51 Canal. Nile Monitors are semi-aquatic habitat generalists and can be found in both freshwater and estuaries. In Florida, they are most often found along networks of vegetated canal banks. They are diet generalists consuming invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, eggs, and carrion. Possible threats...
The “Modeling Habitat Connectivity to Support State Wildlife Action Plans in the Mid-South” project developed a map of Broadly Defined Habitats (BDH) associated with wildlife species of conservation concern. The map used the Cooperative Land Cover Map from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The “Site” level classification was used, and the map was projected into NAD 1983 Albers, resampled from 10 to 30-meter resolution and translated to BDH classes.
Title: Gulf Coast Adaptation and Resilience Plan (GCARP) Implementation, Phase II Abstract: Goal: The overall goal of this project is to continue to advance the high-priority activities identified in the Initial GCARP Strategy through the collective impact of the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA). Objectives: 1) Using stakeholder expertise and resources including GOMA’s Governors’ Action Plan III and USFWS’s Southeast Conservation and Adaptation Strategy (SECAS), identify and obtain missing data needed to address vulnerabilities as a result of sea level rise modeling scenarios for habitat, focal wildlife species, and human communities. As identified in the Initial GCARP Strategy, needs could include: a. Habitat:...
The “Modeling Habitat Connectivity to Support State Wildlife Action Plans in the Mid-South” project developed a map of Broadly Defined Habitats (BDH) associated with wildlife species of conservation concern. The map used Ecological Mapping Systems data from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in Texas and Ecological System Mapping data from Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership (MoRAP) in Oklahoma as inputs. Those products were resampled from 10 to 30-meter resolution and translated to BDH classes.
The 2019 Middle Southeast Blueprint (v 3.0) project worked to update and improve the Southeast Conservation Blueprint for the entire states of Arkansas, Louisiana & Mississippi, as well as portions of Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois. The inputs used for this update include terrestrial and aquatic habitat assessments, species distribution information, sociological data (i.e., land ownership and partner priority areas), and change risk information (i.e., urbanization and sea-level rise). The primary product of this update was the Conservation Value Index map, which was the input to Southeast Blueprint 4.0 for this subregion.
The South Atlantic Conservation Blueprint is a living spatial plan to conserve natural and cultural resources for future generations. It identifies shared conservation priorities across the South Atlantic region.Blueprint 2021, released in August 2021, is a totally data-driven plan based on terrestrial, freshwater, marine, and cross-ecosystem indicators. It uses the current condition of those indicators to prioritize the most important areas for natural and cultural resources across the South Atlantic geography. Through a connectivity analysis, the Blueprint also identifies corridors that link coastal and inland areas and span climate gradients. The Blueprint reflects extensive feedback from the broader cooperative...
