Vision:
The South Atlantic Migratory Bird Initiative (SAMBI) proposes to integrate planning efforts between the four major migratory bird planning initiatives (North American Waterfowl Management Plan, Partners In Flight, United States Shorebird Conservation Plan, North American Waterbird conservation Plan), and other single species bird conservation initiatives (eg. Northern Bobwhite Conservation Initiative) in the continental United States, seeking common goals and objectives for habitat conservation to sustain, maintain, and increase populations of migratory birds and resident birds which utilize the Atlantic Flyway.

Mission:
The SAMBI of the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture proposes to deliver a habitat conservation strategy for the conservation of "all birds across all habitat", consistent with and complimentary to international, national, regional, and local migratory bird planning efforts. This conservation strategy is based on a strong biological foundation and fostering partnerships at all levels of implementation (international, national, regional, local) through a strong network of conservation partners, including federal, state, non-governmental organizations, and private landowners.
