The PCJV concentrates its efforts in 18 focus areas that provide important migration corridors and vital wintering and breeding areas for birds, fish and other wildlife species. Within each focus area, the Joint Venture protects specific target areas through various conservation strategies.
PCJV focus areas are part of an ecological continuum, sharing migratory bird populations, coastal habitat types, and similar resource problems and opportunities.
