The Gateway is for the conservation practitioner, scientist and decision-maker. Here we share the best and most up-to-date information we use to inform our work at The Nature Conservancy.

In 2004 Washington State’s San Juan County Council designated the marine waters and shorelines of the county (which includes 176+ islands) as a “Marine Stewardship Area” to protect the marine resources of the islands while allowing sustainable use of marine resources to continue forever. The San Juan County Marine Resources Committee, a citizen’s committee that advises the county council on marine issues, used the Conservancy’s Conservation Action Planning methodology to develop a strategic plan for the area. Highlights of the Miradi file for the plan include the inclusion of socio-cultural or human well-being targets and detailed viability analyses and conceptual models.
