Addressing Species at Risk Before Listing - MCB Camp Lejeune and Coastal Goldenrod

摘要

Pilot Project: Species at risk on DoD Installations. Funded by DoD legacy Resource Management Program. Developed in partnership with the U.S., Fish and Wildlife Service, NatureServe and the North Carolina State Natural Heritage Program. Camp Lejeune chosen as Marine Corps installation and Coastal Goldenrod was chosen as the species at risk. The purpose of the project is to develop voluntary guidelines for management of species at risk that are not federally listed. Species should have a high percentage of populations on DoD land, so good management by DoD will have a significant impact on entire population. Goal: to manage target species in a way that will make listing unnecessary and therefore maintain flexibility for DoD installations.
