What is CCNEET?

Inspired by the need for a coordinated watershed approach to improve environmental conditions, the Coyote Creek Native Ecosystem Enhancement Tool (CCNEET) is an online planning tool that identifies ecologically appropriate restoration opportunities in and along the creek within San Jose, CA. These opportunity areas can become the basis for outreach, project proposals, partnering agreements, and concept designs.

Embedded within the EcoAtlas platform, it leverages a host of environmental data layers that can further support resource managers.

How was it developed?

CCNEET was built on existing data and reports, using a synthesis process that was overseen by a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of local, state, and federal scientists and resource managers. The TAC provided essential local expertise that ensured that CCNEET’s actions and opportunity areas reflect current scientific knowledge and land uses.
