Identify High Priority NE Species of Greatest Conservation NeedRCN2011-03: Conservation Assessment of Odonata (Dragonflies and Damselflies) in the Northeastern Region (RCN2011-03)
Summary This project encompasses a region-wide conservation assessment for the order Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) and will follow a procedure similar to assessments already conducted in the Northeast for certain vertebrate taxa (e.g., birds, reptiles and amphibians). It includes measures of regional responsibility, conservation concern, and vulnerability in a matrix format that can be used to prioritize species and conservation actions. Consistent and comprehensive criteria across all states will be utilized to identify which species are most important regionally as well as those which are most vulnerable. The resulting prioritization scheme will serve to direct limited state and regional resources toward conservation actions that benefit Odonata and their habitats and thereby guide implementation of SWAPs.

Summary This project will develop a series of maps depicting the distribution, abundance and relative risk to marine birds from offshore activities (e.g., wind energy development) in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The goal of this effort is to develop and demonstrate techniques to document and predict areas of frequent use and aggregations of birds and the relative risk to marine birds within these areas. The resulting map products are intended to help inform decisions about siting offshore facilities; marine spatial planning; and other uses requiring maps of seabird distributions. This NALCC project is supporting various components of map and technique development by leveraging several large, ongoing projects funded by BOEM, DOE, USGS, and NOAA and involving research groups at the Biodiversity Research Institute, NC State University, CUNY-Staten Island, the USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, and the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science-Biogeography Branch.
