Ainsworth A, Gross J, Simon MJ, Jacobi JD, Loh RK, Harrison S, Berkowitz P, Yoshioka JM, Starr F, Starr K, Loope LL. 2017. Early Detection of Invasive Plant Species Monitoring Plan Standard Operating Procedure #6: Selecting Survey Locations. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
This SOP describes the process by which corridors are selected to survey for early detection plant species within Pacific Island Network (PACN) parks as part of the Early Detection of Invasive Species Monitoring Plan (Ainsworth et al. 2017). Selecting which corridors to survey is a key part of this plan and is a function of program and park goals, available resources, and accessibility. Prior to each surveying event, prioritization of corridors to be surveyed will be reviewed by NPS staff.
