Maine's SWAP is a shared vision for our state that reflects the expertise of state and federal agencies, conservation organizations, tribes, scientists, outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists, landowners, academics, guides, community leaders, and more!
An approved SWAP is required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be eligible for State Wildlife Grants, a key federal funding source for states to conserve nongame species. The eight elements of Maine's SWAP are:
- Identification Species of Greatest Conservation Need
- Description of Key Habitats and Natural Communities
- Identification of Threats to SGCN and their Habitats
- Description of Proposed Conservation Actions
- Proposed Plans for Species and Habitat Monitoring
- Procedure for Periodic Review
- Plans for Coordination with Partners
- Public Participation
