South Atlantic Conservation Blueprint October 2022
Southeast Conservation Blueprint 2022 is now available!
by Rua Mordecai, Coordinator, Southeast Conservation Blueprint
The latest update to the Southeast Conservation Blueprint, version 2022, is now available! Just like previous versions, it still identifies priority areas for a connected network of lands and waters. The big difference this year is that it now uses consistent methods across 15 states. That includes a suite of natural and cultural resource indicators representing terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. It also includes a connectivity analysis that identifies corridors linking coastal and inland areas and spanning climate gradients. The 2022 data and documentation are available on the SECAS website and the Blueprint page of the new SECAS Atlas mapping platform. An update to the Blueprint Explorer online viewer is coming soon.

The final South Atlantic newsletter
by Hilary Morris, User Support & Communications, Southeast Conservation Blueprint
Now that Southeast Conservation Blueprint 2022 has been released, officially replacing the South Atlantic Blueprint, it’s time to finish transitioning the last South Atlantic resources over to the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) partnership. Last week, we took down the South Atlantic Conservation Planning Atlas (CPA) gateway and redirected it to the new SECAS Atlas mapping platform. When the 2022 data becomes available in the Southeast Blueprint Explorer, we’ll take down the South Atlantic Blueprint Simple Viewer and redirect it to the Southeast Blueprint Explorer. Lastly, we are taking down the South Atlantic website in the next couple of weeks, so this issue will be the last South Atlantic newsletter.
