- RCN2010-03: Identification of Tidal Marsh Bird Focal Areas in Bird Conservation Region 30
Regional Focal AreasRCN2008-03: Regional Focal Areas for Species of Greatest Conservation Need Based on Site Adaptive Capacity, Network Resilience and Connectivity
Summary This project integrates the most resilient examples of key geophysical settings with locations of SGCN. The goal is to identify the places in the Northeast where conservation is most likely to succeed under the effects of climate change. Site resilience was estimated by measuring the complexity and permeability of the landscape using a GIS. This information was combined with data on the known distribution of species to identify the most resilient sites for each geophysical setting. Broad east-west and north-south permeability gradients were also analyzed to identify areas where ecological flows and species movements potentially become concentrated. The results of this project are maps that can be incorporated into land use planning and protection efforts at state and local scales.

RCN2010-03: Identification of Tidal Marsh Bird Focal Areas in Bird Conservation Region 30
Summary This project will determine state level responsibility for the conservation of tidal marsh bird species and provide the baseline for long-term monitoring of the tidal marsh bird community along the Atlantic coastline from Virginia to Maine (Bird Conservation Region 30). The project will focus on the tidal marshes from New Jersey to Virginia and complements existing and ongoing surveys and research being conducted from New York to Maine. The project will identify population centers for tidal marsh birds and provide states with detailed information on regional responsibility.
