Strategic Action Plan
By Corinne Smith on 2/16/2009 | Keyword(s): Strategic Action PlanThe Partnership Steering Committee chose a two-phase planning process to identify Partnership long-term goals and strategies and to provide a tool the Partnership can use to prioritize projects related to fish habitat goals in the Mat-Su basin. This Strategic Action Plan represents Phase 1; its intent is to identify long-term goals and strategies of the Partnership. Phase 2 was implemented through a subsequent process to prioritize fish habitat related projects and actions. The plan scope includes not only freshwater fish habitat in the Mat-Su Basin, but nearshore, estuarine, and marine habitat in upper Cook Inlet as well.
The Steering Committee identified three specific purposes for the plan:
- Identify important habitats for salmon and other fish species in the Mat-Su Basin.
- Prioritize fish habitat conservation actions, including protection, enhancement, and restoration of key habitat, education and outreach, research, and mitigation.
- Identify potential collaborations and funding sources for partners to address fish habitat conservation.
A cooperative approach to protection and restoration of salmon habitat can ensure that healthy salmon populations and healthy human populations co-exist in the Mat-Su Basin. This Strategic Action Plan is the Mat-Su Basin Salmon Habitat Partnership's vision for doing that. In accordance with its formation under the National Fish Habitat Action Plan, the Partnership will focus on ensuring that wild salmon have healthy habitat in the Mat-Su Basin.
