Abstract:

This project is a component of the integrated Long-term Monitoring of Marine Conditions and Injured Resources and Services submitted by McCammon et al (2011). This project explicitly provides for science coordination and syntheses of data from our long-term monitoring program, as well as incorporating an interdisciplinary framework into program development and implementation. The science coordination and synthesis component of our integrated program improves linkages between monitoring in different regions (Prince William Sound, Gulf of Alaska shelf, lower Cook Inlet) as well as between disciplines in a given region, as a way to better discern the impacts of environmental change on restoration and continued recovery of injured resources. Science coordination includes facilitating program planning and sharing of information between principal investigators, developing annual reports on the science program, and coordinating ongoing evaluation of the overall program. Science synthesis efforts help integrate information across the entire program and are closely coordinated with the conceptual ecological modeling and data management teams in our integrated program.
