Abstract: This project will conclude planning for and begin initiation of the Trustee Council's vision for long-term monitoring and research in the Gulf of Alaska, the Gulf Ecosystem Monitoring and Research program (GEM). Planning and implementation during FY 02 will be based on the draft GEM Program Document until its review by the National Research Council (NRC) is complete. The document describes how a network of monitoring and research activities will be implemented over a five-year period starting in FY 03 using synthesis, research, modeling, and data management/information gathering. As directed by the Trustee Council, the GEM program is closely coordinated with, and complementary to, related large-scale marine science programs and organizations in the Gulf of Alaska and adjacent waters. In FY 02, this project will support the final review of the GEM Program Document by the NRC, develop the FY 03 Invitation to Submit Proposals, and continue development of the draft GEM Strategic Plan for Monitoring and Research.
