Initial Monitoring & Design Approaches for Wetlands
Issue: Design issues for wetlands involve defining the target population
and availability of frame materials, both being somewhat problemmatic.
Initial Questions:
-
Emphasis on status and trends in ecological condition
-
Role and information provided by Design-based approaches
Role and Assistance of the Design Team:
-
Aid in refinement of information for addressing the steps in design process
(Resource Characteristics, Monitoring Objectives, Institutional Constraints,
Sample Frame, Design Requirements and Survey Design)
-
Participation in monitoring design and analysis pilot(s)
-
Potential integration of existing monitoring information and programs
