Use Case Studies
Use case studies are an opportunity for users of the SCA tools to work one-on-one with the SCA team on real life conservation applications, ranging from planning and proposal writing to deciding in which lands to invest. These use case partners have had full support for using tools and data, including opportunities for tool or data modification. In addition to having documented uses of the tools, the SCA team has received feedback on how to make the tools better and easier to use for conservation applications. It's a win-win!
The SCA team has worked with eight organizations, ranging from non-profits to state and federal agencies, on collaborative use case studies across the Gulf Coast Region into 2021. These use case studies represent a diversity of projects that will apply the SCA tools to real time conservation efforts.
