The multi-LCC Mississippi River Basin/Gulf Hypoxia Initiative is a joint effort to find the nexus of water quality, wildlife, and people in the Mississippi River Basin. Integrating hundreds of data layers into a coherent spatial analysis tool, the Precision Conservation Blueprint v1.0 will provide a significant targeting and planning tool for individuals and organizations across the basin to identify opportunity areas for the implementation of specific conservation practices that have maximum multiple benefits for wildlife, water quality (gulf hypoxia), and people and agricultural productivity.
Practice Fact Sheets identify a dozen or more high impact conservation actions that have potential for multi-sector benefits depending on design and position in the landscape.
Precision Conservation Blueprint v1.5 includes updated data layers, such as the 2016 revisions of State Wildlife Action Plans, and other stakeholder recommendations based on the 2016 Research & Design Forum.
