This report examines six ecosystem-based planning efforts across the U.S.: the Mission-Aransas Ecosystem Management Plan in Texas, community wildfire plans in Colorado, the Creating Resilient Communities project in South Carolina, the Pelekane Bay Watershed Restoration Project in Hawaii, the Long Island Coastal Hazard Mitigation Plan in Long Island, and the Sanford Conservation Plan in Maine. The report ferrets out six key lessons, including the importance of early stakeholder engagement, the value of earning credibility for the scientific and technical tools, and maintaining feedback loops throughout the process.The Creating Resilient Communities project completed its work in the fall of 2010. Many thanks to all of the partners who participated, volunteered their time, and helped to integrate conservation and hazard mitigation into regional growth scenarios. Results
