11. Do you have any questions that were not answered by the information presented today? Any
comments about the workshop?
• Need more on-the-ground examples of adaptation measures
• Need participation by planners, non-governmental groups, Div. of Coastal Mgmt., county, soil & water
districts, real estate developers
• There should be Wildlife Friendly Development Certification interaction with consultants who specialize in
wildlife friendly development

• ‘No’ = 6 from total of 62 questionnaires
• ‘Don’t know’ = 4 from total of 62 questionnaires
Do you have any recommendations/ comments about the priorities (goals, species, or habitats)
described in the current WAP?
• Provide GIS data layers
• Web-based, interactive, searchable document
• Prioritize habitats and watersheds for conservation action, include stream headwaters
• Include game species
• Incorporate corridors and connectivity planning for all species and habitats
• Identify and address new threats
• Integrate other conservation plans
• Climate change adaptation recommendations
12. How can the WAP be revised to assist your organization with carrying out its mission?
• Provide GIS datasets
• Identify priority conservation for priority habitats and species; use suites, groups, guilds
• Provide searchable information broken out at County or local level
• Produce, maintain joint map with NHP for biodiversity wildlife habitat areas and priority species
• Include all species, incorporate role of game species in habitat and species guilds
What type of info does the WAP need to include to assist your organization with implementation of
actions?
• Provide GIS data layers
• Searchable, online document and mapping
• Prioritized conservation actions and research needs
• Climate change information
• Predictions or modeling for species, habitat movement patterns in response to climate change
