Conservation Programs and Partnerships. Conservation programs, incentives, and part- nerships should be utilized to the fullest extent in order to preserve high-quality resources and protect important natural communities. Protective measures that utilize existing regu- latory frameworks to protect habitats and species should be incorporated where applicable. Land conservation or preservation can serve numerous purposes in the face of anticipated climate change, but above all, it promotes ecosystem resilience.
• Guide academic research projects to help achieve specifc conservation goals and objectives.
• Support the development and application of an aquatic nuisance species management plan with other agencies/groups.
• Address secondary and cumulative impacts upon water quality (bufer ordinances, water supply watershed protection, and headwaters protection).
