Comprehensive Conservation & Management Plan
Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans (CCMPs) are documents developed by NEPs to characterize priority problems in their estuaries and surrounding watersheds, to list and describe actions to address those problems, and to identify partners and entities to implement those actions.
Part of the MBNEP's work is the creation of Plans—scientific blueprints—based on years of research. We call them Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans (CCMPs). The CCMPs guide local governments, businesses, nonprofits, and everyday citizens in the wise care of our coastal waterways, and each one crafted to meet the specific and unique needs of individual watersheds in our area. The CCMPs characterize priority problems in their estuaries and surrounding watersheds, list and describe actions to address those problems, and identify partners and entities to implement those actions.

____________
The first CCMP was completed and approved in 2002. It consisted of primary objectives which were, in turn, broken into sub-objectives with specific steps of Action Plans suggested for accomplishing each sub-objective. In total, the 2002 CCMP contained 29 specific objectives with 101 implementable steps on the "Path to Success." As of September 30, 2011, of the 101 actions identified in the plan, 11 had been completed, 88 had been implemented on some level, and three were under reconsideration.
