If we knew then what we know now….Adapting to meet challenges Gulf Coast

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service 2 A surrogate species approach, why is it something we need to do? 1.Only a fraction of the landscape is devoted to species conservation (prioritize conservations lands) 2.Finite resources are allocated to conservation as it competes with other socioeconomic objectives ($$ = best conservation value) 3.The vast majority of species habitat requirements remain unknown (utilize data rich areas) Noon et al. 2009
