1Context for Effectiveness Monitoring 2Statistical Meta-analysis 3Communication TOPICS

“System-wide learning” “Shared measures” “Collaborative learning” 2 Statistical Meta-Analysis An analysis approach that supports:

2 Statistical Meta-Analysis Many restoration projects across Puget Sound… …how do we compare without using the same methods?

Widely used in education and medical research Change statistics are standardized across projects Measures effectiveness of actions Before and After Statistics Temp After – Temp Before (Pooled Variance) 0.5 Change = = Cohen’s d Change statistic (Cohen’s d) is difference of the means divided by the standard deviation 2 Statistical Meta-Analysis

BeforeActionAfter Musselwatch begins BAN on TBT 2 Statistical Meta-Analysis Effectiveness of Tributyltin BAN

* Effect size +/- 90% CI ACTION: Ban Tributyltin (anti-fouling paint) EFFECTIVE: Reduced toxics in Mussels 16 Tributyltin (Mussel)

* Effect size +/- 90% CI 17 Tributyltin (Mussel) Interpretation Large effect size >0.8 Medium 0.2 – 0.8 Small effect < 0.2 ACTION: Ban Tributyltin (anti-fouling paint) EFFECTIVE: Reduced toxics in Mussels

18 Not effective/ Effect Size Effective/ Worsening Improving Fecal bacteria reduced ACTIONS: Samish Basin - Inspections, farm plans EFFECTIVE: Reduced fecals, opened shellfish beds

Effectiveness Monitoring & the Action Agenda Nearshore habitat restoration increased benthic taxa richness B2. Protect and restore nearshore and estuary ecosystems Pesticide partial ban not effective; Eagle Harbor cap improved fish health; TBT ban was effective C1. Prevent, reduce, and control the sources of toxic contaminants entering Puget Sound Lake treatments reduced Phosphorus A2. Protect and restore upland, freshwater, and riparian ecosystems PIC programs in Liberty Bay reduced fecals in bays and streams C7. Ensure abundant, healthy shellfish for ecosystem health and for commercial, subsistence, and recreational harvest consistent with ecosystem protection

1Surprising amount of data to measure effectiveness and compare costs. 2Info buried in tech reports. 3Don’t wait for standardization – use change statistics now. 4Lots of interest in what’s working to restore Puget Sound. CONCLUSIONS
