资源简介：
<p style='line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;'>There are at least 10 federally listed threatened and endangered
species, the majority of which rely on the coastal environments common on this
Virginia peninsula and its many offshore islands. The area also hosts multiple
fisheries species of conservation concern and important migratory bird stopover
habitat. It supports 4 NWRs and TNC’s Virginia Coast Reserve, has been
designated a United Nations Biosphere Reserve (<a href='http://www.unesco.org/mabdb/br/brdir/directory/biores.asp?mode=all&code=USA+31'>http://www.unesco.org/mabdb/br/brdir/directory/biores.asp?mode=all&code=USA+31</a>),
and is included in the North American Coastal Plain global biodiversity hotspot
(<a href='http://www.cepf.net/news/top_stories/Pages/Announcing-the-Worlds-36th-Biodiversity-Hotspot.aspx'>http://www.cepf.net/news/top_stories/Pages/Announcing-the-Worlds-36th-Biodiversity-Hotspot.aspx</a>).
Our goal is to restore/protect upland, wetland, and coastal habitat for listed
species, priority migratory birds, and fisheries species of conservation
concern on state, Federal, and private lands.</p><p style='line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;'>The <font face='Calibri' size='3'><font face='Calibri' size='3'>boundaries were defined by the extent of HUCs 02080109 and 02080110; includes the Eastern and Western Lower Delmarva HUCs.</font></font></p><font face='Calibri' size='3'><p style='line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;'></p></font>
本区域至少分布有10种联邦名录收录的受威胁与濒危物种，其中多数依赖弗吉尼亚半岛及其众多近海岛屿常见的海岸生境生存。该区域同时栖息着多种具有保护重要性的渔业物种，以及关键的候鸟中途停歇栖息地。区域内设有4个国家野生动物保护区（National Wildlife Refuge, NWR）与大自然保护协会（The Nature Conservancy, TNC）的弗吉尼亚海岸保护区，已被认定为联合国生物圈保护区（<a href='http://www.unesco.org/mabdb/br/brdir/directory/biores.asp?mode=all&code=USA+31'>http://www.unesco.org/mabdb/br/brdir/directory/biores.asp?mode=all&code=USA+31</a>），并被纳入北美沿海平原全球生物多样性热点区域（<a href='http://www.cepf.net/news/top_stories/Pages/Announcing-the-Worlds-36th-Biodiversity-Hotspot.aspx'>http://www.cepf.net/news/top_stories/Pages/Announcing-the-Worlds-36th-Biodiversity-Hotspot.aspx</a>）。本项目的核心目标是在州属、联邦及私人土地上，恢复并保护受保护物种、优先候鸟以及具有保护价值的渔业物种所需的高地、湿地与海岸生境。
本区域的边界由水文单元代码（Hydrologic Unit Code, HUC）02080109与02080110的覆盖范围划定，涵盖下德尔马瓦半岛东部与西部的HUC单元。
