4 Typically identify and evaluate the ecological attributes of an ecosystem. There is no single type of ecological assessment. 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 3

5 Ecological Integrity Assessment (EIA) Rapid Ecoregional Assessment (REA) Index of Ecological Integrity such as BIBI Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) Inventory projects (used in support of assessments, e.g. Shorezone) Does not include Ecological or Environmental Impact Assessments 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 4

6 Examples: Puget Sound Watershed Characterization Project Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP) Lead entity reports (salmon) Envision Skagit Floodplains by Design Puget Sound Science Update Biennial Science Work Plan Etc. See: SSEC Sessions S-06G and S-07G. Integrating landscape-scale assessments into local planning 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 5

7 For example: There are 27 lead entities working on salmon recovery alone. These leads further cooperate with hundreds of individual project sponsors ranging from municipalities, NGOs and tribes to state and federal agencies. 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 6

8 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 7

9 Create a searchable and dynamic index along with project descriptions and background about what conservation assessments are and how they can be used. Provide links to projects and additional context. 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 8

10 A resource for local planners Baseline data as environments change An aid to ecosystem-based management Rapid disaster response ( frontloading the science )* *Varanasi, Usha Making science useful in complex political and legal arenas: A case for frontloading science in anticipation of environmental changes to support natural resource laws and policies. Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy, pgs /18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 9

11 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 10

12 One of the oft-cited impediments to conducting ecosystem-based management is a lack of broadly available, peer-reviewed and synthesized scientific information about the system of interest. Ruckelshaus et al Puget Sound Science Update Synthesis 11/18/2014 pugetsoundinstitute.org 11
