Table 6.2 Objectives and example strategies and priority actions for conservation of habitats. Goal 2. Improve wildlife habitat and manage populations to support sustainable ecosystem services.
Increase efficiency and effectiveness of statutes, rules, regulations and review processes affecting habitats (rules and regulations) • Standardize the species listing process under the state Endangered Species statutes. • Investigate, implement, and support (as appropriate) programs that are directed at listed species recovery (e.g., Habitat Conservation Planning, Landowner Incentive Program, Safe Harbor) • Support incentive and information programs that help reduce sedimentation and erosion (e.g., fencing livestock from streams, improve tilling practices), minimize pesticide and herbicide use, and modernize wastewater treatment facilities. . Improve coordination with local and regional land-use planning efforts and regulatory agencies (coordination, technical guidance) • Support establishment of riparian buffers along streams, implementation of low impact development, and better stormwater management (e.g., secondary and cumulative impacts) through program coordination, cooperative projects, and technical guidance • Encourage the adoption of growth management plans by county/ municipal governments • Work with zoning and planning boards to steer development away from priority areas and habitats.
