I. Abstract

    We will collect information on organizations' approaches to 
landscape scale conservation; their capacities, priorities, strategies, 
and approaches to collaboration; what other organizations they have 
sought advice from, collaborated with, or would like to collaborate 
with; their organizational type, size, and location; and where in the 
U.S. Pacific Northwest region they operate. The survey results will 
provide information about where, how, and with whom organizations 
working on coastal ecosystem issues focus their efforts, and will be 
used to facilitate opportunities for improved coordination and 
collaboration to enhance the collective impact of organizations working 
to protect and restore the health of U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal 
watersheds, estuaries, and associated ecosystems, and the communities 
that value, use, and depend on these resources.
