Abstract:

This project is a component of Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA), the integrated Long-term Monitoring of Marine Conditions and Injured Resources and Services program submitted by McCammon et al. To meet Gulf Watch Alaska’s long-term restoration monitoring goal, this 5-year long-term monitoring program will: 1) Implement the guidance of Trustee Council planning efforts; 2) Sustain and build upon existing time series; 3) Enhance collaborations between principal investigator projects in the proposed monitoring program and with the proposed Herring Program; 4) Leverage partnerships with outside agencies and groups to integrate data from a broader monitoring effort than that funded by the Trustee Council; 5) Provide data and scientifically-based data products to a wide variety of users; and 6) Develop science synthesis products to assist management actions, inform the public and guide the evolution of monitoring priorities for the next 20 years. This project addresses administration and fiscal management of the program. To achieve that, the Prince William Sound Science Center is serving as the administrative lead and fiscal agent responsible for: managing award contracts for all non-Trustee Agency projects within the program; ensuring the program and projects adhere to all reporting policies, practices and timelines; serving as a liaison between the program and EVOSTC staff; coordinating travel and logistics for principal investigator annual meetings; coordinating travel and logistics for outreach efforts; participating in an annual audit; and providing administrative support to the outreach and community involvement component of the GWA program. The Outreach and Community Involvement component is coordinated by the Alaska Ocean Observing System. See McCammon’s program project proposal form for details.
