Is there a maximum amount cap of ACAP-funded services a participant can receive? Services in the ISP will change as your needs change. This is determined at the annual review or whenever changes are needed.
Non-medical and non-emergency medical transportation services are available in ACAP. Non-Medical Transportation means you can get to and from your authorized services. Non-Medical Transportation is also available to you for transportation to and from other services, work, and community activities when other transportation resources, including natural supports, are not available. Natural supports may include friends, family, community members, neighbors, or coworkers.
Non-Medical Transportation can also be used when it is determined that you are unable to utilize alternate transportation resources, such as public transportation, due to unavoidable health and safety risks. Residential Habilitation is a service to help improve skills to live in the community. Residential Habilitation Services are provided in a licensed community home not a participant's or participant's family home. Residential Habilitation is designed for participants who are unable to live independently at home, either alone or with family.
A participant receiving Residential Habilitation services in ACAP is responsible for contributing part of their income toward the room and board. The share of the room and board would not be more than 72 percent of the monthly Social Security Income SSI maximum rate. If a participant's income is less than the SSI maximum rate, the participant would only be charged a maximum of 72 percent of their available monthly income for room and board. Monitoring of the program is an ongoing process throughout the year and includes the following: reports, on-site reviews, interviews with participants, an annual quality review by an outside agency, quality performance outcome measures, and oversight of provider qualifications including training.
Participants are interviewed to find out if they are getting the services in their plan, if they are happy with their services, and if they are treated well by their providers. BSASP also checks to make sure participants are healthy and safe. Increase access to health care.

The Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels, or ACAP, is a multilateral agreement which seeks to conserve albatrosses and petrels by coordinating international activity to mitigate known threats to their populations.
Development of the Agreement commenced in It was concluded rapidly with only two meetings required to agree the text. These meetings, held in Hobart, Australia, and Cape Town, South Africa, were attended by 16 countries and five international organizations. ACAP was opened for signature in Canberra, Australia on 19 June and entered into force on 1 February , at which time all Southern Hemisphere species of albatrosses and seven petrel species were listed under its auspices.
Sessions of the Meeting of Parties are ordinarily held at three-year intervals, with the Advisory Committee and its working groups meeting in the intervening years. ACAP focuses on any species, subspecies or population of albatrosses and petrels listed in its Annex 1.
Twenty of the listed species carry a globally threatened status, ranging from Critically Endangered four species , Endangered five species to Vulnerable 11 species. Eight species are considered to be Near Threatened and only two of the 30 ACAP-listed species both giant petrels are characterized as of Least Concern. At the Fourth Session of the Meeting of Parties, held in Peru in , the Balearic Shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus, endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, was added to the Agreement, bringing the total number of species currently included within the Agreement to The most significant threat facing albatrosses and petrels is mortality resulting from interactions with fishing gear, especially longline and trawl fishing operations.
In addition, birds may be threatened at their breeding sites by introduced predators, diseases, habitat loss and human disturbance. The Agreement provides a focus for international cooperation and the exchange of information and expertise, and the Action Plan annexed to the Agreement offers a framework for the implementation of effective conservation measures for these threatened seabirds, both on land and at sea.
Although individual nations are taking measures to protect albatrosses and petrels, international cooperative action is also required. Albatrosses and petrels are susceptible to threats operating throughout their wide migratory ranges that extend across national boundaries into international waters and it is unlikely that actions by any one nation alone will be effective in improving their global conservation status.
International cooperation on albatross and petrel conservation thus enhances the prospects for successful conservation measures across their ranges. ACAP has also developed Conservation Guidelines on biosecurity and quarantine for breeding sites; Conservation Guidelines on the eradication of introduced mammals from islands; best-practice advice for mitigating seabird bycatch in fisheries operations and an Action Conservation Plan for the Waved Albatross P.
Such news includes an on-going series of illustrated ACAP Breeding Site accounts, brief reports of field work, management activities, conferences and other meetings, abstracts of scientific and popular publications and book reviews. The Agreement has been working with tuna Regional Fishery Management Organizations tRFMOs , the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources CCAMLR and other relevant fisheries management organizations to encourage the adoption of best-practice mitigation measures to reduce seabird mortality in longline fisheries in international waters outside national jurisdictions the high seas.
ACAP has also been working to reduce seabird mortality in trawl and other fisheries where seabird bycatch occurs. Much more still needs to be achieved. A key challenge is to obtain accurate data on where and in what numbers seabirds are being caught as bycatch in fisheries operations, in order to assist the effective implementation of conservation measures.
