Multiple Species Conservation Program

The MSCP:

• Preserves San Diego's unique, native habitats and wildlife for future generations.
• Works across political boundaries in a unique regional conservation effort.
• Protects watersheds and water quality.
• Streamlines the permitting process for development projects.
• Ensures compliance with the federal Endangered Species Act, state Endangered Species Act, and state Natural Communities Conservation Planning Act.

The MSCP is important because it:

• Conserves San Diego's natural areas and quality of life.
• Protects San Diego's diversity of native plants and animals, including threatened and endangered species.
• Accommodates future growth by streamlining building regulations.
