Intention for DevelopmentIt was the desire of the Tennessee Ecological Service staff to increase collaboration across conservation programs and state boundaries for the recovery of federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act.  Sharing spatially explicit priorities in this way can enhance collaboration and be an efficient communication tool to a variety of audiences.  Staff value strong partnerships and aim to restore, connect, and conserve landscapes throughout Tennessee.  Staff also recognize that the Service is a learning organization and in order to achieve long-term success, we must strategically leverage durable outcomes for both species and people, and align our mission with the mission of others.  This is viewed as an interative product and can be managed adaptively as new information becomes available.  FeedbackQuestions and feedback on the Aquatic SHUs are encouraged.
