CONSERVATION GOAL AND OBJECTIVES Sample Clauses

CONSERVATION GOAL AND OBJECTIVES. Conservation Goal The data for the conservation objectives are from the annual nest surveys conducted by FWC biologists for the past 35 years. The goal of this management plan is to establish conservation actions that will maintain a stable or increasing population of bald eagles in Florida in perpetuity. To achieve this goal, a decline of 10% of the number of eagle nesting territories in Florida over a period of 24 years (three eagle generations) must be prevented through science-based management, regulations, public education, and law enforcement. The FWC anticipates that without continued protection of eagle nesting habitats, the number of nesting territories in Florida could decline by 10% or more over the next 24 years, which could trigger a relisting effort. The FWC has therefore set a conservation goal for bald eagles that is higher than the minimum threshold to avoid a need for relisting. Conservation Objectives The conservation objectives will be calculated annually from five-year running averages of bald eagle population data. Conservation objectives are benchmarks used to measure progress toward the conservation goal. The following conservation objectives have been met or exceeded in Florida, and maintaining these objectives will help to ensure that the conservation goal is sustained. Annual nest surveys conducted by FWC biologists since 1972 provide the data used to establish the following objectives. Determining annual reproductive success will provide the information needed to monitor the population and to measure the success of the objectives. The FWC listing process has five criteria—three based on population size or trend, one on geographic range, and one on quantitative analysis of the probability of extinction (see Xxxxxxxx et al. 2006). The first three conservation objectives below provide a means by which changes in population size or trend can be detected, while the fourth objective is intended to ensure that the bald eagle maintains its current geographic distribution. Maintaining a stable or increasing population of eagles throughout their current distribution will ensure a healthy bald eagle population in Florida, and will prevent the need to relist eagles under FWC’s imperiled-species regulations. The following conservation objectives will be calculated annually from five-year running averages, beginning with data collected during the period 2002–2006. We use five-year averages to avoid the possibility that one or two years of poo...

  • BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The partnership proposed by the Cooperator was selected due to merit review evaluations from the 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity P17AS00037. The Cooperator demonstrated expertise in disciplines and subject areas of relevance to cooperative research and training. The Cooperator met the program interests of NPS with expertise, facilities, experience, diversity of programs, and history of collaborative research projects. The Cooperator helps the NPS-CESU to meet its objectives to:  Provide research, technical assistance and education to NPS for land management, and research;  Develop a program of research, technical assistance and education that involves the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences needed to address resources issues and interdisciplinary problem-solving at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context at the local, regional, and national level; and  Place special emphasis on the working collaboration among NPS, universities, and their related partner institutions. Title: Provide research, technical assistance and education for resource management and research The CESU network seeks to provide scientifically-based information on the nature and status of selected biological, physical, and cultural resources occurring within the parks in a form that increases its utility for making management decisions, conducting scientific research, educating the public, developing effective monitoring programs, and developing management strategies for resource protection. Studying the resources present in NPS parks benefits the Cooperator’s goal of advancing knowledge through scientific discovery, integration, application, and teaching, which lead toward a holistic understanding of our environmental and natural resources. The Cooperator is a public research university, sharing research, educational, and technological strengths with other institutions. Through inter-institutional collaboration, combined with the unique contributions of each constituent institution, the Cooperator strives to contribute substantially to the cultural, economic, environmental, scientific, social and technological advancement of the nation. The NPS expects there to be substantial involvement between itself and the Cooperator in carrying out the activities contemplated in this Agreement. The primary purpose of this study is not the acquisition of property or services for the direct benefit or use by the Federal Government, but rather to accomplish a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized the Legislative Authorities in ARTICLE II. This agreement fulfills the Public Purpose of support and economic stimulation for the following reasons:  Projects will engage recipients, partners, communities, and/or visitors in shared environmental stewardship.  Projects will promote greater public and private participation in historic preservation programs and activities. The project builds resource stewardship ethics in its participants.  The information, products and/or services identified or developed by projects will be shared through a variety of strategies to increase public awareness, knowledge and support for historic preservation and stewardship of the nation’s cultural and historical heritage.  Projects will support the Government’s objective to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the environment by spending time working on projects in National Parks. The NPS receives the indirect benefit of completing conservation projects.  Projects will motivate youth participants to become involved in the natural, cultural and /or historical resource protection of their communities and beyond.  Students gain “real world” or hands-on experience outside of the classroom of natural, cultural and/or historical resource projects.  The scientific community and/or researchers external to NPS gains by new knowledge provided through research and related results dissemination of natural, cultural and/or historical resource information.  Projects assist in the creation, promotion, facilitation, and/or improvement of the public’s understanding of natural, cultural, historic, recreational and other aspects of areas such as ecological conservation areas, and state and local parks.
