Implementation Strategy |
| 1.1 |
Adopt coastal priorities of Beginning
with Habitat and support a process to supplement and refine coastal
focus areas and address coastal habitat gaps.
|
| 1.2 |
Support a process to (a) define
and map existing public and working access; (b) identify areas with
a shortage of access; and (c) prioritize areas for additional access. |
| 1.3 |
Support a process to (a) define
meaning and methodology for scenic/cultural features; (b) support
efforts to use this methodology in 3-5 regional areas to identify,
evaluate, and prioritize at regional level, and (c) create process
to review regional priorities to identify statewide coastal priorities
which would then direct MCPI resources.
|
| 1.4 |
Develop and implement proactive local and regional conservation
action plans that will work to protect high-priority coastal resources,
including those identified by the Initiative.
|
| 1.5 |
Conduct Strategic Conservation
Learning Circles to develop effective model processes and training
materials for delivery to interested stakeholders.
|
| 1.6 |
Convene coastal practitioners
and scientists, and facilitate roundtables and public forums to advance
understanding of the relationships between land protection measures
and marine resource management in a coastal landscape.
