  1. Protocol Manager Demonstration Future NRMP & PNAMP Collaboration? June 20, 2006 Jennifer Bayer, PNAMP Coordinator (USGS)

  2. Pacific NorthwestAquatic Monitoring Partnership(PNAMP) A forum for coordinating state, federal, and tribal aquatic monitoring programs in the Pacific Northwest

  3. PNAMP Objectives • Provide a technical forum to develop, coordinate and inform monitoring and evaluation (M&E) programs • Provide a forum and process for communication with decision makers • Be a clearing house for sample design, protocol development, and data management activities • Provide process to establish landscape/ecosystem metrics

  4. PNAMP Partners Charter signed by 19 state, tribal, federal, and regional entities: WA GSRO

  5. PNAMP Current Tasks • Protocolstandardization/ coordination • Inventory of monitoring activities • Universal Survey Design for status/trend monitoring • Data Management coordination (NED, PNW RGIC) • High-level Indicatorsdevelopment • Facilitate regional Networking

  6. PNAMP Protocol Tasks • Tools • Protocol Manager • Protocol format (Oakely et al 2003) • Method manual/ training format

  7. PNAMP Protocol Tasks Protocols under development • Macroinvertebrate collection • Fish population monitoring techniques • Watershed assessment (habitat) techniques • Effectiveness monitoring techniques

  8. Natural Resource Monitoring Partnership(NRMP)

  9. NRMP Goals • Improve the accessibility of monitoring efforts to resource managers to aid them in decision-making for multiple purposes at multiple scales. • Develop practical resources that can help the resource management community develop and improve monitoring efforts to support more effective evaluation and decision making.

  10. NRMP Participants OK Dept of Wildlife Conservation San Diego Zoo The Nature Conservancy U.S. Army Engineering Research & Development Center U.S. Bureau of Reclamation U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service U.S. Geological Survey University of CA Davis USDA Forest Service University of MI VT Fish & Wildlife WI Dept of Natural Resources AZ Game and Fish Dept. AK Game & Fish Commission CA Dept of Fish and Game Cornell Lab of Ornithology FGDC FL Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission ID Conservation Data Center International Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies IA State University MI Dept of Natural Resources MO Dept. of Conservation NPS NatureServe Nova Scotia Dept of Natural Resources NY State Dept of Environmental Conservation

  11. NRMP Core Resources(to be hosted by the NBII) • Monitoring Protocol Library - An internet accessible, searchable database that provides information on monitoring protocols and resource assessment methodologies organized to facilitate reference and use.. • Monitoring Locator - An internet-based, GIS application that allows users to identify what natural resource monitoring is being conducted within a particular area (e.g., State, county, Canadian Province, or other selected geographic area).

  12. San Diego Workshop NRMP – Where we have been? 2005 2006 • NRMP Web site • Questionnaire • - locator fields • - library fields NRMP established Locator- Library Beta 1.0 Test March-April Technical Workshop May 26-27 Steering Group Technical Group Outreach Group Required Metadata Fields identified

  13. PNAMP/NRMP Collaboration? • Both groups have identified similar products as essential to coordination and collaboration of monitoring • NRMP Locator ~ PNAMP Inventory ? • NRMP Library ~ PNAMP Protocol Manager ?
