This data is for planning purposes only. LCCs are applied conservation science partnerships with two main functions. The first is to promote collaboration among their members in defining shared conservation goals. With these goals in mind, partners can identify where and how they will take action, within their own authorities and organizational priorities, to best contribute to the larger conservation effort. The second function of LCCs is to provide the science and technical expertise needed to address the shared priorities and support conservation planning at landscape scales – beyond the scope and authority of any one organization. The organizational model of the LCC Network was intentionally structured to operate...

The NPR basins were ranked according to regional patterns of environmental stress for salmon under current and projected future (to 2100) climate conditions. The basin rankings account for the relative abundance and distribution of freshwater habitats in each basin and include dynamic river flow and temperature simulations as indicators of water quality. A salmon stress index was developed based on temperature thresholds for spawning, incubation, and rearing for individual salmon species. The salmon stress ranking was coupled with the sub-watershed physical complexity ranking to develop a watershed vulnerability index for individual salmon species. Chinook and Coho rankings are highlighted below.
These data, when used in the NPLCC Prioritization Tool, allow users to identify priority species and consider current and future landscape conditions in order to create watershed priorities across or within the North Pacific LCC region. This dataset includes a variety of species distribution data from fish to birds to mammals; watershed condition data on land use, dam impacts, hatchery density, and human influence; and climate change effects spanning the region.

Top conservation priorities for the coastal temperate rain forest bioregion include the protection and stewardship of large contiguous blocks of undeveloped land and water. Watersheds form a logical unit of analysis to identify such priority areas: the flow of water through a drainage basin integrates distribution of fish populations, flows of energy, and movement of materials. The analysis illustrated by this map is based on a methodology developed by Keith Moore (1991) as part of an inventory of coastal watersheds in British Columbia. The level of disturbance within the rain forest within primary coastal watersheds larger than 5,000 hectares is shown in relation to protected areas. Approximately 41 percent of...
