LGAC Input on OutcomesSlide2
Key Elements of Management Strategies
Include
a statement about whether there is a
general or specific role for local governments
, watershed associations, nonprofits, the private sector or others in achieving the outcome. When relevant,
include a brief description of the role and level of participation of each
entity
(
3.a
).
Identify
specific actions, tools or technical support needed
at the local
level (
4.a)
.
If
relevant,
describe what steps will be taken to facilitate greater local participation
, including underserved and underrepresented communities as a way to include more diverse participation, in achieving the outcome, including
what actions, tools or technical support will be provided to empower local
governments
and others to do their
part
(
5.a
). Slide3

Local LeadershipSlide5Slide6
StewardshipSlide7
Stewardship Goal
Increase the number and diversity of local citizen stewards and local governments that actively support and carry out the conservation and restoration activities that achieve healthy local streams, rivers and a vibrant Chesapeake Bay.
Diversity Outcome
Identify minority stakeholder groups that are not currently represented in the leadership, decision making and implementation of conservation and restoration activities and create meaningful opportunities and programs to recruit and engage them in the Partnership’s efforts. Slide8

Land Conservation Goal
Conserve landscapes treasured by citizens in order to maintain water quality and habitat; sustain working forests, farms and maritime communities; and conserve lands of cultural, indigenous and community value.
Land
Use Options Evaluation
Outcome
By
the end of 2017,
with the direct involvement of local governments or their representatives, evaluate policy options, incentives and planning tools
that could assist them in continually improving their capacity to reduce the rate of conversion of agricultural lands, forests and wetlands as well as the rate of changing landscapes from more natural lands that soak up pollutants to those that are paved over,
hardscaped
or otherwise impervious.
Strategies should be developed
for supporting local governments’ and others’ efforts in reducing these rates by 2025 and beyond
.Slide11
Key components:
Evaluate policy options, incentives and planning tools
with the direct involvement of local governments
Develop strategies to support local governments' and others' efforts
Questions for Discussion:
What does an evaluation of policy options, incentives and planning tools look like to you?
What types of policy options, incentives and planning tools should be evaluated?
Are you aware of similar efforts?
How do we ensure direct involvement of local governments in the evaluation, e.g. surveys, steering committee, focus groups?Slide12
Land Conservation Goal
Conserve landscapes treasured by citizens in order to maintain water quality and habitat; sustain working forests, farms and maritime communities; and conserve lands of cultural, indigenous and community value.
Land
Use
Methods and Metrics Development Outcome
Continually
improve the knowledge of land conversion and the associated impacts throughout the watershed. By 2016, develop a Chesapeake Bay watershed-wide methodology and local level metrics for characterizing the rate of farmland, forest and wetland conversion, measuring the extent and rate of change in impervious surface coverage and quantifying the potential impacts of land conversion to water quality, healthy watersheds and communities. Launch a public awareness campaign to share this information with citizens, local governments, elected officials and stakeholders.Slide13
Key components:
D
evelop a watershed-wide methodology and local level metrics for characterizing the rate of farmland, forest and wetland conversion
Quantify the potential impacts of land conversion to water quality, healthy watersheds and communities.
Launch a public awareness campaign to share this information.
Questions for Discussion:
How well do you understand
land conversion and the associated impacts throughout the watershed
