"Threats to America’s land, water, fish and wildlife, and cultural resources are greater than any one agency or one program can handle alone – landscape conservation cooperatives (LCCs) are a way to leverage all of our resources and work together to meet these threats."

the North Atlantic LCC

To protect the natural and cultural resources of the Northeast, natural resource managers and partners have formed the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC). The North Atlantic LCC partnership includes: States, Tribes, Federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other species specific partnerhsips like migratory bird joint ventures and fish habitat partnerships.

Natural resources like rivers, forests, fish, and wildlife and the threats that face them do not recognize man-made boundaries - making it important that the conservation community work across these boundaries to address these threats and ensure the future of the North Atlantic region's land, water, fish and wildlife, and cultural resources.

The North Atlantic LCC partners work together to identify common science needs, shared scientific capacity and information and coordinate natural resource conservation actions across the region.
