Presentation Transcript

  1. Overview • Types of monitoring • Partnership monitoring needs • Current monitoring coordinationefforts

  2. Monitoring Overview Status and Trends • What is the current condition and has it changed over time? • Indicators data

  3. Monitoring Overview Effectiveness • Did management action result in an expected, measurable change in the environment? • Adaptive Management

  4. Monitoring Overview Validation • Are our assumptions and hypothesis correct? • Science/management feedback

  5. Monitoring Overview Implementation • Were programs initiated as planned? • Policy feedback

  6. Monitoring Overview Compliance • Are rules/policies being met properly? • Policy feedback

  7. Puget Sound Partnership and Monitoring • In statute: Strategic Science Program* • may include: • Continuation of PSAMP • 2. Development of a monitoring program • (in addition to PSAMP) • *with advice from the Science Panel

  8. What is PSAMP con’t • Collaborative network • Long-term status and trends (since 1989) • Some effectiveness monitoring • Puget Sound Indicators • Regional and local scale Drayton Harbor. / Linda Farmer

  9. What is PSAMP con’t • Regional Indicators • State of the Sound Reports • Transboundary Indicators Reports • Other Products • Puget Sound Update Reports • Conceptual Model • PS/GB Research Conference Drayton Harbor. / Linda Farmer

  12. English Sole survey. / WDFW Monitoring Coordinationand Forums Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP) • Coordinate state, federal, and tribal freshwater and estuarine monitoring programs in the Pacific NW • WA, OR, Northern CA

  13. Monitoring Coordinationand Forums Washington Forum on Monitoring • Coordinate technical and policy issues and activities related to monitoring salmon recovery and watershed health. • State-wide, legislative mandate

  14. Monitoring Coordinationand Forums Puget Sound Coordinated Monitoring Program (‘Monitoring Consortium’) • Establish a new coordinated multi-party structure • Built on existing programs and efforts • Initiated by local governments

  15. What’s needed to strengthen current monitoring programs? • Link to regulatory community • Broader representation • Secure funding • Political independence • Prioritize monitoring - strategic science program • Transparent and trustworthy

  16. Bat star. / Jennifer Vanderhoof Monitoring and the Action Agenda • Linkage between PSAMP, PNAMP, Forum, • Consortium, other programs, and Action Agenda • is important • Science panel can help with linkage • Science plan will define activities based • on Action Agenda • Monitoring is the accountability tool
