The South Atlantic Conservation Blueprint is a living spatial plan to conserve natural and cultural resources for current and future generations in the face of future change. It spans parts of six states, from Virginia to Florida, including U.S. waters to 200 miles offshore. The Blueprint prioritizes the lands and waters of the South Atlantic based on the current condition of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine indicators.
