FY2006 Annual Accomplishments Report for Inventories and Vital Signs Monitoring: Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN)
Price G, Johnson E, Stevens S. 2006. FY2006 Annual Accomplishments Report for Inventories and Vital Signs Monitoring: Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN)
This network includes eight parks: 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). As part of its Vital Signs Monitoring efforts, the network is drawing from the monitoring design and protocol development work initiated by the Cape Cod NS Prototype Monitoring Program, and includes active participation from scientists with the USGS, EPA, NASA, and a number of universities in the Northeast region. In FY2006 the Network continued to progress on finalizing monitoring protocols for monitoring ocean shoreline position, estuarine eutrophication, salt marsh vegetation, and nekton. Pilot sampling using the estuarine eutrophication and shoreline position protocols continued this year in selected parks. Vertebrate and vascular plant inventory products underwent review and revision as they were submitted to the Network, and some projects completed their last year of field work.
