Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan

The Partnership is implementing the 2010 Piscataqua region Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) which is an update of the 2000 CCMP that addresses current and emerging issues impacting the water quality and environmental health of estuaries in the Piscataqua Region. 

The CCMP is not a static plan, but one that is adaptive and requires periodic updates. The Partnership is currently in the midst of an update for the next ten year period (2020-2030).

Stakeholder Driven

The DRAFT 2020-2030 CCMP was developed over an 18-month process involving stakeholders representing federal and state resource management agencies, nongovernmental organizations, industry, legislators, and the 52 communities in the Piscataqua Region.

The CCMP covers the coastal watershed areas in New Hampshire and Maine for the Great Bay and Hampton-Seabrook estuaries. It is designed to provide a cohesive, regional approach for agencies, municipalities, conservation organizations, watershed groups, and others that have an interest in maintaining and improving the health of coastal ecosystems.
