  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.

The parallel population decline in migratory shorebirds such as Red Knots, Calidris canutus, Ruddy Turnstones, Arenaria interpres, and others that seasonally feed on the copious quantities of HSC eggs laid along this shoreline resulted in reduced HSC collection permits to numbers considered sustainable.

  • Annual Listing of Obligated Projects
    NEW YORK METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL ANNUAL LISTING OF OBLIGATED PROJECTS for Federal Fiscal Year 2007 April 29, 2008 Introduction Each and every day, the New York metropolitan region’s transportation system is called upon to efficiently and reliably deliver people and goods to countless destinations within the region and beyond. This vast network of rails, roads, bridges, waterways and trails makes it possible for workers to get to jobs, students and teachers to educational institutions, visitors to attractions and for goods and services to reach consumers. The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) – a regional council of governments which is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley – is the organization responsible under Federal law for undertaking regional transportation planning activities for the New York metropolitan region that lead ultimately to transportation improvement projects. Maintaining and improving the transportation system will require a great deal of investment; more than $568.0 billion (year of expenditure dollars) of needs as identified in NYMTC’s current 2005-2030 Regional Transportation Plan. The challenge will be to find sufficient financial resources to achieve this objective. How Are Projects Planned and Funded? The transportation legislation which authorizes spending nationally for transportation improvements requires metropolitan regions to follow a comprehensive planning process in order to obtain Federal funding for transportation improvements. The foundation of this process is a long-range Regional Transportation Plan which defines the region’s long-term needs and conceptual solutions. Through more detailed study, various specific transportation improvements are then defined using the Plan as a framework.
