Surrogate species like the saltmarsh sparrow can be used to represent the habitat needs of other species throughout the watershed. (Image by Dan Logan/Shutterstock)
The surrogate species approach has great merit. And I am hoping there is still time "to identify and agree upon priority "surrogate" species" that might help target regional habitat needs (Hellbenders and pearly mussels come to mind). Hopefully there will be an open forum on selecting species that will help move the initiative forward. Good job!
Thank you!
