Intro to Fishing and Conservation
Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) are agreements developed under the Endangered Species Act that outline how to protect and conserve the habitats of endangered or threatened species while allowing for certain land-use activities. These plans aim to balance environmental conservation with economic development, ensuring that both species and human needs can be met effectively. HCPs provide a framework for landowners and developers to undertake projects while minimizing impact on wildlife and their habitats, often including measures for habitat restoration and monitoring.
