Outline Ecosystem health report cards Purpose of MTAC Development of sampling and analysis protocols for tidal indicators Finished document Next steps & upcoming products Acknowledgements

Ecosystem health report cards are popular education and outreach tools Provide a performance-derived grade for an ecosystem component or a geographic region Enable communication of complex information to a broad audience Can provide accountability; measuring the success of a particular effort Identify regions or issues of concern

Differences in scale matter What about my local river? Local monitoring programs are able to collect information at a finer scale than state or national agencies

Purpose of MTAC Mid-Atlantic Tributary Assessment Coalition Formed to foster collaboration & enhance report card utility across water systems – Increase scientific validity – Standardize indicators and methods – Provide guidelines for successful report card production Develop protocol document!

Development of sampling & analysis protocols Select indicators – Six core, but elective indicators are also encouraged

Development of sampling & analysis protocols Reach consensus on sampling guidelines – Temporal sampling regime Preferred vs. minimum time periods, resolution

Development of sampling & analysis protocols Reach consensus on sampling guidelines – Location of sampling sites Sub-region delineation Salinity regime Depth Location of sampling sites

Development of sampling & analysis protocols For each indicator, reach consensus on: – Field sampling procedures – Laboratory analysis methods (if necessary) – Data analysis methods Criteria to use? Scoring techniques – Pass/fail – Multiple thresholds

Example –Chlorophyll a Each chapter begins with an introduction to the indicator Field sampling procedures – Necessary equipment – Sample collection process – Preparation of samples for analysis Laboratory analysis

Example – Analysis and scoring of Chlorophyll a data Explain threshold criteria, data sorting & organization process Step by step scoring process – Station scores – Sub-region scores – Area weighting to find overall region scores

Development of sampling & analysis protocols Provide guidelines for synthesis and communication of results via a report card – Think about communication strategy

Next steps & upcoming products Continue to grow… Bacteria meetings were held in Spring 2011, supplementary document forthcoming Beginning work on non-tidal protocol document Fall 2011, expect completion during 2012
