Initial outreach and planning for the 

Strategy began in 2009 and early 2010, 

with a number of listening and 

engagement sessions, as well as several 

Conservation Leadership Forums. More 

information about past engagement 

efforts, as well as upcoming meetings 

and engagement opportunities, is 

available at http://www.

participate.php. 

We will be accepting public 

comments through our Web site until 

the date specified in DATES. We will also 

accept verbal and written comments at 

upcoming public review workshops (see 

ADDRESSES). 

We encourage the public to submit 

comments and input on the draft 

Strategy. The comments that are most 

useful are those that you support by 

quantitative information or studies and 

those that include citations and analyses 

of applicable laws and regulations. 

Please make your comments as specific 

as possible and explain the basis for 

them. In addition, please include 

sufficient information with your 

comments to allow us to authenticate 

any scientific or commercial data you 

include. 

You must submit your comments and 

materials by one of the methods listed 

above in the ADDRESSES section. We will 

not accept comments sent to an address 

not listed in ADDRESSES. 

We are committed to transparency in 

developing and implementing the 

National Fish, Wildlife, and Plants 

Climate Adaptation Strategy. The 

Service, NOAA, and other partners will 

also actively engage interested parties, 

including, as appropriate, State, Tribal, 

and local authorities; regional 

governance structures; academic 

institutions; nongovernmental 

organizations; recreational interests; and 

private enterprise. 

IV. Meeting Participation Information 

Several public workshops will be held 

around the country, as described in 

ADDRESSES. These workshops will 

provide interested members of the 

public the opportunity to learn more 

about the development and goals of the 

Strategy, ask questions, and provide 

their public comments verbally or in 

writing. If you wish to attend one of 

these workshops in person, please 

register online prior to the workshop 

through our Web site at http://www.

wildlifeadaptationstrategy.gov/publicworkshops.php. 

There will also be two additional 

public workshops that will be held as an 

online web conference or ‘‘webinar’’ 

(see DATES). Interested members of the 

public will be able to participate 

remotely, including viewing a 

presentation and contributing questions 

and comments. For more information or
