Habitat Assemblage: __________________________________________________________
1. Habitat Selection
Define the boundaries of each habitat in your assemblage (landward, seaward, depth, etc.)
Consider the habitats included in your assemblage. Are they distinct, or can they be combined for the
vulnerability assessment?
List your recommendations for habitats in your assemblage to be included in the vulnerability
assessment. Please transfer this list to your flipchart to share with the larger group.

2. Species Selection
On the draft species list provided, please check off the species that are present in your habitat
assemblage.
Consider the following questions for those species. Please list each species included in your habitat
assemblage below (Use extra page at end if needed).
Does this species hold significant
Does this species have a listed
Species
management concern?
status that was not included?
Y/N If yes, please briefly describe.
Y/N If yes, please describe.

Can any of these species be grouped into species assemblages for the vulnerability assessment (e.g.
nearshore rockfish)? Indicate those assemblages here.
Can any of these species be adequately assessed in the habitat vulnerability assessment, and therefore
not be included in the species assessments (e.g. Bull Kelp assessed in Kelp Forest habitat)? Indicate those
species here.
Please identify the species present in your assemblage that you recommend to definitely or maybe
include in the vulnerability assessment. Please transfer this list to your flipchart to share with the larger group.
1. Definitely include in the vulnerability assessment.
2. Maybe include in the vulnerability assessment – time and resources permitting.

Please identify and describe the services present in your assemblage that you recommend to definitely
or maybe include in the vulnerability assessment. Please transfer this list to your flipchart to share with the
larger group.
1. Definitely include in the vulnerability assessment.
2. Maybe include in the vulnerability assessment – time and resources permitting.
Please describe local sources of data for those services identified above, if you know of any.
