The Northeast Region has elected to emphasize
development of the North Atlantic LCC in 2010,
while also supporting efforts to begin LCC
development within the south Atlantic, Appalachian
and Great Lakes geographic areas. The region
is building upon strong partnerships to create
the North Atlantic LCC, which, guided by the
principles of strategic habitat conservation (SHC),
will develop and communicate landscape-scale
scientific information to shape conservation across
the Eastern Seaboard south to Virginia. The North
Atlantic LCC will be part of a network of LCCs
initiated by USFWS in 2010 that covers the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts of the United States, a geographic
area that, when compared to other areas globally, is
highly susceptible to impacts precipitated by climate
change, including sea level rise and storm surge
events.
