1.     Conserve adequate habitat to support healthy fish, wildlife and plant populations and ecosystem functions in a changing climate.

2.     Manage species and habitats to protect ecosystem function and   provide sustainable cultural, subsistence, recreational, and commercial use

3.     Enhance capacity for effective management ….

4.     Build coordinated observation, information management, and decision-support systems that facilitate adaptive management….

5.     Increase knowledge and information on impacts and responses of fish, wildlife and plants to a changing climate.

6.     Increase awareness and motivate action to safeguard fish, wildlife   and plants in a changing climate.
