California Central Coast Joint Venture | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

As a voluntary, cooperative, regional partnership composed of federal, tribal, and state entities working with nonprofit organizations, private industry, land stewards, and academia, the C3JV is delivering conservation through locally-derived approaches to further a vision of the Central Coast as a thriving community where our lands and waters are shared among birds, other wildlife and people in a relationship of mutual wellbeing.

Conservation, Science, and Land Management Organizations

We often partner with non-governmental conservation organizations on conservation projects, whether it's to conserve identified species such as the monarch butterfly or to advise on land acquisition for conservation so that it has the greatest benefit for species.

Federal Agencies

We work with other federal agencies to help them meet their legal responsibilities as well as their mission.

Friends Groups

Friends groups are organizations of community members committed to helping national wildlife refuges and national fish hatcheries meet conservation goals that would otherwise be out of reach.

Local Governments (city, county)

As a Federal agency we partner with local government agencies and share in the responsibility of stewarding management and recovery of species.

Non-Governmental Organizations

Here we partner with a wider variety of other organizations on projects to meet shared conservation goals.
