NOAA - Stakeholder Feedback on the Selection of NOAA Candidate Habitat Focus Area(s) in California

OMB Control No. 0690-0330
Expiration Date: 4//30/2014

Questions to be asked of stakeholders:

• In which candidate habitat focus areas do you think NOAA's proposed habitat conservation activities can make the most significant difference and have the greatest positive impact in achieving NOAA's proposed habitat objectives?

• Are there candidate habitat focus areas where there are issues or concerns that could negatively affect the likelihood of successfully achieving the proposed habitat conservation objectives?

• Are there any candidate focus areas proposed in which you would be particularly interested in partnering with NOAA to achieve the proposed habitat conservation objective?

Here is the link in which one can access the web site with the focus areas http://www.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=845478c00a284f04b7eb9e58f4053122.  We are still developing it and modifying data layers.  The link in the email to stakeholders is not yet set up.
