This document presents Conservation Guidelines for the Coastal Sage Scrub (CSS) Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) process. The guidelines are published by the California Department of Fish and Game. The guidelines were prepared in coordination among the Department, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Scientific Review Panel (SRP), and are based on technical review by and recommendations from the SRP.
