8.2 Required 10-Year Comprehensive Review and Revision
(e.g., species range and habitat biodiversity), and weather pattern changes (e.g., tempera- ture and precipitation) are the most signifcant concerns in North Carolina. It was also recommended to use an iterative approach in the revision process rather than a linear approach, with climate change, habitat, and species information being developed in paral- lel rather than sequentially. Other feedback from participants included recommendations on how to proceed with revision of the WAP, including:
• organization structure to accomplish the revision (leadership, committees, and teams);
• cooperative development of the technical content with incorporation of climate change;
• prioritization of conservation measures and ongoing research needs; and
• solicitation for review of the completed draft document.
It was also recommended to use an iterative approach to the revision instead of a linear approach, with climate change, habitat, and species information being developed in paral- lel rather than sequentially. About 140 individuals, representing 36 diferent federal, state, and local agencies, conser- vation organizations, and private companies, attended the workshop. A summary of the workshop and recommendations were developed by the University of North Carolina at the Charlotte Urban Institute and published in a report available on the NC WAP webpage: www.ncwildlife.org/Plan/Revision/September2010Workshop. 8.2.2 Regional Workshops (2011) Five additional workshops were held from January through May 2011 in regional settings to accommodate partners and stakeholders unable to attend the Climate Change Workshop. Tese regional workshops were designed to introduce the report on climate change impacts to fsh and wildlife in North Carolina; to provide a forum to discuss adaptation and mitigation measures; to provide information about conservation programs; to introduce a NCWRC Conservation Registry portal designed for partners to share and manage conser- vation data and needs; and to solicit feedback about implementation of 2005 priorities and collect input on priorities for the revision. Over 190 individuals representing 66 diferent agencies, organizations, compa- nies, and individuals participated in the workshops. Meeting handouts and presen- tations are available on the NC WAP webpage: www.ncwildlife.org/Plan/Revision/ Spring2011RegionalWorkshops.
