FY2005 Annual Accomplishments Report for Inventories and Vital Signs Monitoring: Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN)
Price G, Johnson E, Stevens S, Milstead B. 2005. FY2005 Annual Accomplishments Report for Inventories and Vital Signs Monitoring: Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN)
This network of eight parks includes Cape Cod NS (CACO), Assateague Island NS (ASIS), Colonial NHP (COLO), Fire Island NS (FIIS), Gateway NRA (GATE), George Washington Birthplace NM (GEWA), Sagamore Hill NHS (SAHI), and Thomas Stone NHS (THST). In FY 2005 the Network made substantial progress on completing draft monitoring protocols for monitoring shoreline position, estuarine eutrophication, salt marsh vegetation, and nekton. These protocols are currently in the peer review phase, and revisions will be completed in FY2006. Pilot sampling using these draft protocols continued in selected parks. In addition, the Network’s first database template was completed and adapted to each project. Cooperators tested the database and revisions are being made. In addition, some initial inventory field work began on bats and dragonflies and butterflies, while other inventory projects submitted their final products.
