| IRS990/Description | 0 | MPA MONITORING ENTERPRISE - OST CONTINUED TO LEAD THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MARINE PROTECTION AREA (MPA) MONITORING TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NEW MPAS BEING ESTABLISHED UNDER THE MLPA, UNDER A SIX-POINT SYSTEM. BETWEEN OCTOBER 2012 AND SEPTEMBER 2013, OST BEGAN IMPLEMENTING BASELINE MPA MONITORING IN THE NORTH COAST REGION; CONTINUED ANALYZING DATA AND REPORTING RESULTS FOR THE CENTRAL COAST REGION; IMPLEMENTED A PEER REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE FINAL REPORTS, DATA AND METADATA SUBMITTED BY THE LEADS OF ELEVEN BASELINE MONITORING PROJECTS IN THE NORTH CENTRAL COAST REGION; AND IN THE SOUTH COAST, WORKED TO INTEGRATE EFFORTS BETWEEN THAT MPA BASELINE PROGRAM AND THE BIGHT REGIONAL MONITORING PROGRAM. KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THE MONITORING IS OUTREACH, WHICH HAS BEEN GREATLY ENHANCED BY THE GROWTH OF OUR OCEANSPACES TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM, AN INTERACTIVE FORUM FOR SHARING MONITORING RESULTS, SUBMITTING DATA, AND MAKING VIDEOS AND PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD. THROUGH THE CITIZEN SCIENCES PROGRAM, WE MADE GREAT PROGRESS ESTABLISHING CONTACT WITH A WIDE RANGE OF CITIZEN SCIENCE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE CENTRAL COAST TO MAP OUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZEN SCIENCE IN ITS MANY FORMS TO PLAY A MEANINGFUL ROLE IN MPA MONITORING. IN RESPONSE TO FINDINGS FROM MPA MONITORING AND OTHER EFFORTS, OST IS LEADING INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE MY WATER QUALITY PORTAL, A PARTNERSHIPS-BASED APPROACH WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM SCCWRP, THE SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY INSTITUTE (SFEI), THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES (DWR), THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD (SWRCB), AND THE CALIFORNIA COASTKEEPER. SCIENCE INTEGRATION - IN ITS ROLE AS A BOUNDARY ORGANIZATION FUNCTIONING THE SPACE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND DECISION-MAKING, OST CONTINUED TO IMPROVE COLLABORATION AMONG SCIENTISTS, POLICYMAKERS, AND RESOURCE MANAGERS AND DEVELOP PROCESSES TO CONNECT SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS WITH STATE AGENCIES AND COORDINATING BODIES, SUCH AS THE CALIFORNIA OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL (OPC). SCIENCE INTEGRATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDED THE LAUNCH OF A SCIENCE INTEGRATION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, AND DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLICATION OF RESOURCE GUIDES, INCLUDING "PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER: DESIGNING EXPERT JUDGMENT PROCESSES FOR NATURAL RESOURCE DECISION MAKING," WHICH WILL BE FOLLOWED BY OUR SCIENCE NEEDS ASSESSMENT GUIDE IN SPRING OF 2014. |
