Water Quality Indicators and Monitoring Design to Support the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Program: A Progress Report Dean E. Carpenter and William L. Crowell, Jr. Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Program May 2006

Water Quality Indicators & Monitoring Roadmap Program & Region Science & Technical Advisory Committee Water Quality & Hydrology Indicators Future & Integrated Monitoring

APNEP Programmatic & Science-Technology Missions To identify, restore, and protect the significant resources of the Albemarle-Pamlico estuarine system. To facilitate the effective use of science, technology, training, and information in the planning, management, and evaluation of ecosystems within the APNEP region

Regional Ecosystem Goods Food for humans and animals (e.g., fish, shellfish, seagrasses, livestock, grains) Salt Minerals and oil resources Construction materials (e.g., sand, rock, coral, lime, wood) Biodiversity (e.g., genetic stock for biotechnology, medicinal)

Regional Ecosystem Services Shoreline protection (e.g., storms, erosion) Storing and cycling nutrients Biodiversity Water quality Recreation Tourism River and marine transport

Science & Technology Objectives Ultimate Objective: “State of the Sounds” periodic assessments Initial Objective: APNEP has indicators in place to track key environmental and other trends based on CCMP priorities and emerging issues, and periodically report on status and trends Background Objective: Regional NC Pilot

Science & Technology Resources FY06 S&T Budget SAV Mapping Citizens Monitoring Network STAC meetings Leveraging Partnering
