Bird Habitat Conservation at Various Scales in the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture

Abstract

The Atlantic Coast Joint Venture is a partnership focused on the conservation of habitats for migratory birds within the Atlantic Flyway/Atlantic Coast Region from Maine south to Puerto Rico. In order to be effective in planning and implementing conservation in this large and diverse area, the joint venture must work at multiple spatial scales, from the largest ? flyways and Bird Conservation Regions, to the smallest ? focus areas and individual projects. In this paper, we describe the activities of the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture at these various scales and discuss the implications and opportunities for all-bird conservation within this large region.
