Abstract: The Trustee Council uses goals established for the GEM program (Gem Program Document, 2002) that make data management a top priority. Data management has been modeled on the GEM Program criteria because all aspects of the Trustee Council programs and operations depend on the data management principles established for GEM. In order for the information from Trustee Council projects to be useful, it must be made accessible through effective data management. A number of the five goals of the GEM Program rely on effective data management. For example, the “inform” goal states that the GEM program will provide integrated and synthesized information to the public, resource managers, industry and policy makers in order for them to respond to changes in natural resources. The “solve” goal requires developing tools, technologies, and information that can help resource managers and regulators improve management of marine resources and address problems that may arise from human activities. The “detect” goal also has a data management and communication aspect, as GEM is asked to serve as a sentinel (early warning) system by detecting annual and long-term changes in the marine ecosystem, from coastal watersheds to the central Gulf of Alaska.
