Preliminary List of Aquatic Representative (Surrogate) Species: This list is a preliminary set of representative species for aquatic systems developed at a workshop sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2011.

Aquatic Technical Subteam: Meeting Agendas Materials: handouts, presentations, misc. documents

Interviews with Core Team members about Process: Video interviews with members of the Connecticut River Pilot Core Team about the Landscape Conservation Design process

Evaluating Effect of Climate Change on River Flows in the Clinch River Basin: A new project by the U.S. Geological Survey is evaluating the potential cascading effects to river flows and quality aquatic habitat due to changes in climate within an ecologically important area of the Appalachian LCC. A greater understanding of likely flow changes within the Virginia portion of the Clinch River Basin will allow managers to better respond to alterations and degradation of physical habitat. Information and results from this study will also provide managers with methods to be applied throughout the Appalachian LCC region. (Photo by Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries)

Support Available for Activities at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis: September 1, 2014 is the next deadline for requests for support for Postdoctoral Fellowships, Working Groups, Investigative Workshops, Sabbaticals, and Short-term Visitors for activities beginning spring/summer/fall 2015 at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS).

First Participants in Conservation Stewardship Program can Renew: Producers with expiring U.S. Department of Agriculture Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) contracts have from July 11 until Sept. 12, 2014 to renew and add conservation activities that will support their natural resource improvement activities and fine-tune their conservation plans.

Researchers map fishing resources to assist land managers, anglers: Anglers in North Carolina and Virginia who are looking for privacy at good fishing spots should head for the mountains, according to a Virginia Tech study of the capacity, quality, and demand of freshwater recreational fishing sites in the two states.

Terrestrial and Wetland Technical Subteam: Terrestrial and Wetland Subteam for the Connecticut River Watershed Pilot in landscape conservation design

Detailed documentation of species-based assessment for Designing Sustainable Landscapes project: Species -- This document describes our species-based assessment based on the concept of climate and habitat capability for a suite of representative species. Here, we define climate and habitat capability and the methods used to measure each component for each species. In addition, here we link to detailed documentation of the climate-habitat capability model developed for each representative species. [updated 6/17/2014]
