The South Atlantic LCC
WHO WE ARE
The South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) is a partnership of federal, state, nonprofit, and private organizations dedicated to conserving a landscape capable of sustaining the nation’s natural and cultural resources for current and future generations.
WHAT WE DO
» We work together to design and achieve a vision for the future, the Conservation Blueprint
» We develop shared measures of ecosystem health known as indicators
» We track progress toward sustaining our lands and waters through the State of the South Atlantic assessment
WORDS FROM THE STEERING COMMITTEE CHAIR
“The South Atlantic LCC and LCC Network provide the forum to engage with peers across agency, state, and traditional management unit boundaries to address
continued pressures on and emerging threats to cultural and natural resources. I see the South Atlantic LCC filling a critical coordination role to leverage existing work and develop science based projects and communication efforts that support landscape level conservation.”

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT 2.0
» A living spatial plan for shared conservation action in the face of future change
» More than 400 people from 100 organizations actively involved in Blueprint development
» Uses terrestrial, freshwater, and marine indicators to identify ecologically and culturally valuable areas and corridors
PART OF A LARGER NETWORK
The LCC Network coordinates conservation design, planning, and science with 22 LCCs in North America. The South Atlantic LCC is also part of a regional network including the Southeast Climate Science Center, Southeast Regional Climate Hub, and two NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments Programs.
