Draft Workplan
Prepared by: Wayne Ostlie
July 25, 2006
An Urgent Need
In the United States, there is a strong history of environmental protection. The Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act still stand as some of the most important legislation for conservation on the planet to date. Multiple government agencies, at the federal and state level, have been created to implement environmental protection. A well developed network of non-governmental organizations has evolved in addition to governmental efforts. These efforts have resulted in developing and advancing many components of natural resource conservation and biodiversity protection.
However, the world of conservation is changing. More people now live in urban than rural environments for the first time in human history, a pattern that will never reverse. Globalization of economies has resulted in increasing threats of invasion from exotic plants, pests, and pathogens. Global human population increases have lead to energy demands that continue to pollute our air and water, with repercussions felt around the globe. Natural resource demands on dwindling freshwater, marine, and terrestrial resources, are stressing the very ecosystems we depend upon for critical ecosystem services. And all of this is occurring during a period of increasing awareness of the dire threat of global climate change.
In the face of these rising threats, the conservation world must face a stark reality. It is unlikely that piecemeal conservation efforts will be sufficient to abate these threats that appear to magnify in severity and scope annually. Furthermore, resources available to abate these threats are limited. There is a strong need, an urgent need, to collaborate, share knowledge, methods, tools and data, and deliver limited resources to targeted areas of highest biodiversity significance, and in turn enable TNC to make major leaps in achieving its 2015 goal. The Conservancy, with its nearly wall-to-wall coverage of ecoregional assessment data across the US, is uniquely positioned to catalyze this movement.
Despite this urgent need, the Conservancy has to date failed in fully positioning itself to effectively deliver its Conservation Approach and resulting products/data to major conservation partners globally and in the United States. This failure to move forward has not been the result of a failure to understand the need. Recognition of the need for and value of this package has been expressed by many facets of the Conservancy in recent months:
Government Relations Office, through a joint GR/GPG meeting in May 2005;
Science Office, through its review and report, Conservation information needs and priorities in The Nature Conservancy: Are we managing our information assets effectively? (December 2005);
CISSC Steering Committee through its report, A report on the status of ecoregional data management (January 2006);
The Nature Conservancy, as detailed in the report, A Guiding Framework for the 2015 Goal (September 2005 draft), called for the design of a conservation data strategy and implementation of an ecoregional data system by FY2008.
Rather, we have failed in both understanding the organizational impediments that have prevented action in the past, and creating solutions to resolve those obstacles. The US Conservation Information Strategy project is designed to both address and overcome those institutional impediments, but also in doing so achieve the desired state of significantly leveraging TNC investment in ecoregional assessments. A package of the Conservancys ecoregional assessment data to key partners and decision-makers (along with the supporting methods and tools) represents the greatest opportunity to influence and impact US conservation strategy and policy arenas at this time.
Project Description
The US Conservation Information Strategy is a 2-year project designed to leverage TNCs $20 million investment in ecoregional assessments by aggregating data nationally to inform existing and future federal-, state- and NGO-led conservation opportunities at local to the national scale. This project goes far beyond a simple map of our combined ecoregional portfolios to the data itself, which is truly needed by TNC and our conservation partners to inform and drive our respective conservation actions.
This will be achieved by:
1) Defining a Compelling Conservation Vision
Developing common classification systems for priority data fields so that national aggregations of data can occur across ecoregions.
Aggregating data from all completed US ecoregional assessments (both tabular and spatial).
Delivering ecoregional assessment data to Conservancy staff and key conservation partners and stakeholders to inform conservation action at local-national scales.
2) Expanding our Conservation Impact
Identifying and engaging in priority national- and regional-scale conservation opportunities as a way to achieve real conservation impact while resolving data issues associated with aggregation.
3) Raising the Global Funding Commitment
Delivering the outcomes of the project to inform strategic public policy actions and grow funding from private and public sources (state and national) for US conservation work.
Project Goal
To aggregate and standardize a limited set of ecoregional assessment data fields (terrestrial, freshwater and marine) to inform and drive U.S. conservation strategies at variety of scales: state, regional and national.
Project Objectives
By 2008:
The Nature Conservancy will have produced a national, seamless geospatial data set of conservation sites, associated conservation targets, and pertinent target attributes through the resolution of data issues and aggregation of data stemming from all completed ecoregional assessments in the United States (approximately 65).
The Nature Conservancy has a central data system that effectively delivers ecoregional assessment data (both spatial and tabular) and products internally to its staff and externally to its conservation partners to inform and drive conservation strategies at multiple scales.
The Nature Conservancy has engaged in 3 national- and regional-scale partner-led conservation opportunities as a way to both resolve data issues and demonstrate/achieve real conservation impact while undertaking this project.
Why Now? Conservation Opportunities to advance a US Conservation Information Strategy
Over the past decade, TNC has spent approximately $20 million to identify conservation priorities and strategies in the United States through some 60+ ecoregional assessments. Data and products emanating from these assessments are eagerly sought by TNCs conservation partners, providing a major strategic opportunity to influence new and existing conservation programs and practices while also creating opportunities due to the value of our product. These opportunities include:
The National Fish Habitat Initiative (NFHI) is identifying conservation, restoration and enhancement priorities (using data from TNC, state Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies and other priority-setting efforts) for freshwater and coastal marine habitats across the US.
State Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies
US Federal Agency management plan revisions for USFS, BLM and other across the country
USFWS strategic refuge planning
The opportunities before us continue to grow, but to date we have been incapable of responding to them effectively, and we therefore have missing important conservation prospects. As the Conservancy embarks on its ambitious 2015 global conservation goal, we cannot afford to simply chalk these up as opportunities missed. Rather, the 2015 goal will demand that:
TNC works more effectively and produce demonstrable results at scale in ecoregions throughout the United States,
TNC inside as outside the US works in a much more leveraged and collaborative way with its key conservation partners in sharing and improving upon the practices in major land and water management,
Funding for conservation in the US is significantly increased, and that significant efficiencies in conservation action are realized, and
TNC views its Conservation Approach as our greatest asset toward improving biodiversity conservation practices of state and federal government agencies.
A key strategy for realizing this outcome will be the management and effective delivery of its ecoregional assessment data and products to conservation partners to influence and impact conservation action around the United States.
Challenges to Successful Implementation
Impediments - Why hasnt this been done already?
Need was not clearly defined and communicated
Lack of commitment to standards
Need for project was not clearly defined or articulated
Project scope was too big/comprehensive
Imperative in field was not clear field has been embedded in site-based approach, only now moving toward landscape and regional scales and need to share data (2015 goal).
Project didnt give appropriate goal/guidance
Insufficient planning and process for identifying scope and deliverables
No Buy-In as Essential
Project lacked focus and commitment other priorities usurped attention and resources
Project didnt resonate with Sr. Managers without connection to strategy use Data R Dull
Project wasnt relevant to Sr. Managers
Project didnt have necessary resources
The project was not institutionalized
Value Not Demonstrated too intellectual with no tie to demonstrable results
Project didnt resonate with Sr. managers without connection to strategy use Data R Dull
Project wasnt relevant to Sr. Managers
Return on Investment not clear to Sr. Managers
Project didnt demonstrate value
Dysfunctional Team
3 TNC reorganizations confused picture and shifted focus of organization
Lack of focus other priorities took away
Change in GCAT and team leadership resulted in loss of direction
Project was led by 1 person rather than a team
Other Impediments to Project Success
Moving forward, several other additional impediments are before the project that need to be resolved:
Data System Development does not keep pace with Project - The Conservation Systems Steering Committee (CISSC) has just released its strategic plan, which (among other things) details the specific need for development of ecoregional data management systems. This system is slated to be operational in TNC by the end of FY2008. Delays or an inability to effectively move forward will pose problems associated with coordination of the respective projects and block attempts to successfully deliver ecoregional data internally and to partners.
Data Use Agreements - Ecoregional assessments in TNC were developed over a 10-year timeframe, and data use agreements between TNC and owners of respective data were not well documented. As a result, TNC has little or no capability to assess the risk of sharing ecoregional assessment data with external partners. Failure to resolve this issue poses potential risks to TNCs ability to move forward.
Risks
Risks in not addressing the need identified and proposed for this project are significant, and include:
Inability to efficiently and effectively measure progress toward achieving the Conservancys 2015 goal.
Dissatisfaction with results of significant investment in ecoregional assessments within the Conservancy, and resulting loss of support for following Conservation by Design principles.
Dissatisfaction by partners in gaining access to the Conservancys ecoregional assessment information.
Loss of major opportunities to impact conservation action across the US by failing to respond to requests in a timely manner (or at all); and ultimately,
Failure or significant detriment, as a result, in achieving in large part the Conservancys 2015 conservation goal, particularly in the US.
Project Details
Project Scope
In Scope
Conducting a broad (US wide), shallow aggregation of ecoregional data for all completed assessments in ecoregions that touch the US border
Resolving differences between these ecoregional data sets
Using 3-4 point projects to assist in resolving data issues and demonstrate conservation impact
Serving the data for use by TNC and its partners
Not in Scope
Development of data systems to support and deliver products to TNC and it partners
Creation of a national vision for conservation with others
Process
The US Conservation Information Strategy project has 2-year duration where data issues will be resolved and project value demonstrated through direct application (at least initially) through point projects. Point projects enable the project to:
Address and resolve problematic areas in controlled, targeted manner
Demonstrate success & build internal support
Build on success; learn while you go; increase levels of difficulty
Impact conservation while addressing data resolution issues
Lessons learned during this initial phase of the project will be taken forward to the second phase whereby all remaining data issues associated with ecoregional data sets will be resolved in line with the scope of the project. The project, as designed, will conclude at the end of FY08, in synch with the timeframe for delivery of Ecoregional Status Measures to TNC and development of conservation information systems to support the management and delivery of this new data set.
Phase 1 (project year 1-2) - focus on strategic delivery to high-profile, high-impact point projects at national and regional scales. Point projects will be strategically selected based on their role in achieving measurable progress toward the project goal, but also demonstrate value tied to specific conservation opportunities. Projects selected as point projects must meet the following criteria (developed by the project advisory committee):
Cover multiple ecoregions regional or national in scope
Produce a useable result (i.e., non-theoretical)
Integrate more than one ERA methodology or data management structure
Be focused, but inform or add value to the overall US Conservation Information Strategy project
Leverage an existing opportunity, led by a user who is ready to engage and has resources/desire to do so
Meet both internal and external needs
Inform and resolve data management issues
Three point projects were selected for the first phase of this project (summaries of each attached in Appendix 1), including:
National Fish Habitat Initiative - a national-scale project focusing on freshwater and marine biodiversity (1-year duration)
Marine Rollup/Shell Oil - a deep rollup of marine data for all of near-shore coastal ecoregions (2-year duration)
Rocky Mountain Region/USFS Region 3 - a rollup of terrestrial and freshwater data for states covering the Rocky Mountain region and US Forest Service Region 3 in the western US (1-year duration)
Together, these point projects share additional positive attributes:
Target all 3 principle biodiversity realms - freshwater, marine and terrestrial
Are led by 3 different programs (GCAT, Global Marine Initiative & Rocky Mountain Region), thereby sharing the workload
Are both regional and national in scale
Phase 2 (project year 2) - focus on building off of point project results to complete aggregation of ecoregional assessment biodiversity data (site, target, and target attributes).
Teams, Composition and Roles
Project Sponsor - Bill Waldman, GCAT Director
Project Lead - Wayne Ostlie, GCAT Senior Ecoregional Scientist
Steering Committee - representatives from many of the key users within TNC, including regional and state programs (directors and science staff), government relations (both state-based and at WO), Initiatives, TIS, GCAT, and Science Office (Appendix 2).
Core Group - composed of regional science directors, project lead, point project leads and others to identify and resolve issues related to capacity constraints, manage workloads and expectations, ensuring work requests are completed on time, create national data field classifications, and create ongoing momentum and support for the project (Appendix 3).
Advisory Committee - a diverse group of individuals from respective user groups across the organization through which to vet proposals or address key issues as needed (Appendix 4).

Appendix 1: Point Project Summaries
1. Shell Oil and US Marine Ecoregion Rollup
An ecosystem-based management (E-BM) framework holds the potential for effective solutions to the challenges of marine conservation and management. For E-BM to become a reality, new ways of thinking must be adopted; the tools that enable this approach must be used widely; and the data to inform the E-BM process must be accessible. A core element of E-BM is the need to balance multiple objectives such as biodiversity and socioeconomic needs in data-driven efforts where alternative decisions can be examined transparently by stakeholders. Numerous groups and foundations are working on defining and developing the scientific basis for E-BM and the tools that can provide decision support.
E-BM science and tools become truly useful when data are readily accessible for use by scientists, managers, and decision-makers. The Nature Conservancy, through its ecoregional assessment process, has compiled coastal and marine data that have and can further inform regional, ecosystem-based conservation and management decisions. TNC has nearly completed marine ecoregional assessments throughout the USA and beyond (Figure 1). As part of these efforts we have brought together spatially-explicit data on the distribution of critical species and ecosystems as well as information on threats and socioeconomic factors in each region.
However, these data have yet to be compiled nationally. At present, they exist in separate databases for each region. Since the assessments were all done using consistent methodologies, bringing them together is feasible. When brought together seamlessly, these data would provide a powerful basis for making decisions at regional and national levels.
Compiling this information into a single database is not very difficult; compiling the information into a seamless database is a much more useful and serious undertaking. The individual ecoregional planning efforts have been done consistently, in part because our central planning team in the Marine Initiative has been involved and provided guidance for all of them. Nonetheless, the assessments span 7 years of effort by different teams in each region. Some information will need to be updated and most information will need to be translated and synthesized across multiple regions so that the data are consistent and comparable across all boundaries (i.e., seamless).
Through the compilation of these data, we would establish a baseline of core information for advancing ecosystem-based management decisions readily available to all partners and stakeholders across the US and beyond in a seamless, web accessible database. It is also our intention to make this a dynamic information resource so that new information, analyses, and approaches can readily be entered and updated. We would also link or make this information available through other existing web portals.
The marine ecoregional assessment process has already proven to be a powerful catalyst for engaging partners and guiding in the water conservation and management actions. When these data are linked together and readily available to all partners, they will form a powerful basis for informing ecosystem-based management.
Figure 1: Current status of marine ecoregional assessments for North America. Green areas indicated completed assessments; beige areas are in process, and boundaries with no filled color are areas where planning has yet to occur.
The three main products of each of these individual planning efforts are the compiled data, a decision support framework, and a set of spatially-explicit priorities. Although we have tried to make all three parts readily accessible to partners, because of resource limitations it is often only the priorities that are readily and easily accessible.
Relating assessments will provide us with a powerful set of information from which we can report on the distribution and status of many marine ecosystems and species. But much more remains to be done.
The result of having followed a consistent approach to regional planning throughout our organization is that now we are able to demonstrate a single, adaptable and robust framework which can be used in the full array of marine environments. Making these assessments accessible and useable will help illustrate the status of U.S. marine ecosystems, habitats, and target species, and instigate regional partnerships in the effort to conserve these precious environments.
We have provided the primary technical leadership and training for staff and partners to carry out ecoregional assessments and priority setting processes in 14 regions within the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Western Pacific. In addition to direct participation in planning efforts at the regional scale, our program also facilitates the integration of marine regional planning methodologies in partner agencies and organizations, including learning exchanges between TNC, the World Wildlife Fund and Conservation International.
Some of the steps involved and resulting products include
We envision several products resulting from this exercise, increasing in complexity:
A central repository of the spatially-explicit marine regional information.
These database could then be linked as above but with enhancements that relate or link information across ecoregions
The compiled or seamless national database
New analyses that illustrate the status and distribution of marine ecosystems and species, as well as human influences across the country.
Resource Needs
Developing a seamless database of all information from all existing Marine Ecoregional Assessments that is accessible by TNC staff and partners and is consistent in one year would require half an FTE with aquatic expertise to scrub the data for consistency and .75 of an FTE to manage input into the database. Support and guidance would be provided by the marine initiative. Its likely that there would be some compatibility with the expertise required for the marine roll-up and the needs of the NFHI freshwater roll-up.
2. National Fish Habitat Initiative
Introduction of Opportunities
The National Fisheries Habitat Initiative (NFHI) represents a major opportunity to significantly inform and leverage freshwater and marine conservation across the United States through the strategic delivery of the Conservancys ecoregional assessment data. This initiative is funded through the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (IAFWA), and is identifying conservation, restoration and enhancement priorities (using data from TNC, state Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies and other priority-setting efforts) for freshwater and coastal marine habitats across the US for Congressional funding to support local and regional partnerships for identified priorities over the coming decade.
This Initiative has been billed as the freshwater and marine counterpart to the more terrestrially-based State Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies. This latter program co-managed by IAFWA and the USFWS is identified as a major conservation priority of the Conservancy domestically in achieving the 2015 goal (as stated in the Guiding Framework document). The NFHI should rank equally as high for freshwater and marine conservation efforts. Within the NFHI, TNC is currently involved in two partnerships, the Eastern Brook initiative and the Southeast Aquatic Resource Partnership (SARP).
The NFHI has requested TNCs freshwater and marine ecoregional assessment data and products as a principle foundation for this planning effort.
Data Management/Product Status
This opportunity and those like it to leverage conservation in the US through the delivery of TNCs conservation methods, tools and data will be realized only when ecoregional assessment data (e.g., areas of biodiversity significance, and data on targets, their viability, threats, current strategies and other information) are made available through a centralized national database that easily inform the NFHI.
At present, TNC is not sufficiently poised to inform the NFHI and realize this opportunity. Currently, ecoregional assessments are in a variety of stages of completeness. About 30% of the country has actual freshwater ecoregional assessments completed, with freshwater areas of biodiversity identified, and explicit freshwater targets identified, with supporting information. This information and data are in a variety of database structures. Another 30-40% of the country has areas of biodiversity significance identified, with a combination of target types in them. It is not clear whether these areas were identified as freshwater priorities, or what the freshwater targets are, if they exist. Approximately 30% of the rest of the country has no freshwater targets in their assessments, and some of the ecoregions are going through second iterations to include freshwater targets.
Ecoregional data from completed assessments are currently housed in a variety of data base structures in Conservancy offices across the country, at both state and regional offices. Few of them are managed within a geospatial environment, but exist in various Excel files, CPT data bases, and in hard-copy format. In 2004-2005, Leo Sotomayor began the process of consolidating data terrestrial, freshwater and marine from completed ecoregional assessments centrally at the Conservancys Worldwide Office (see Appendix 1 for a complete summary of where this project stands, and flagged issues associated with it). Although a national compilation of portfolio polygons depicting areas of biological significance was completed, most of the associated data (e.g., conservation targets, target viability, goals) were never linked to these polygons. The national portfolio shapefile is complete as of July 2005.
Data Needs to Inform NFHI
The NFHI has requested the following data from the Conservancy:
marine and freshwater areas of biodiversity significance (portfolio sites) identified in ecoregional assessments
associated freshwater and marine conservation targets (species and ecological systems) with explicit linkage to each specific area of biodiversity significance
Although seemingly straightforward, achieving this request will require a cursory review to identify new or updated ecoregional assessments (after July 2005) to add to the existing national portfolio, identification of areas of biological significance with freshwater and marine targets, and teasing out of freshwater and marine targets associated with each specific area. Standardization and crosswalking of conservation targets between ecoregions may also be required. A number of regional-scale assessments or rollups already exist to provide the basis for this country-wide effort, including the Upper Mississippi River Basin assessment, rollups completed by the former Northeast Region, the Southeast US Freshwater Biodiversity Assessment, and the Florida marine rollup to inform the Florida Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy.
Achieving these deliverables will require:
The hiring of 1 full-time data manager over the lifespan of the NFHI project (6-8 months) to manage the data, produce reports to inform freshwater ecologist reviews, and produce final geospatial data set in line with expectations and needs of NFHI.
Engagement of freshwater ecologists across the US to review ecoregional assessment data to identify freshwater areas of biological significance, and tease out freshwater conservation targets associated with each, to be led by NFHI pilot application lead. Note that this step is unnecessary for marine ecoregions.
Legal review of data use agreements for existing ecoregional assessment to ensure compliance prior to distribution of final data set to NFHI, to be led by Susan Lauscher.
Proposal to Meet Needs
The Conservancys engagement with NFHI will serve as a pilot application along with 1-2 others to inform the development and implementation of the broader US Conservation Information Strategy. Although the need for movement on NFHI has arisen prior to the completion of a comprehensive project plan for the US Conservation Information Strategy, rollup of data to inform the NFHI will be structured to inform the broader discussion related to the Vision. Deliverables requested are due to NFHI in the next 6-8 months (May-August 2005).
Although identified as a primary conservation opportunity, engagement with NFHI and assembly of deliverables to inform that project cannot stall progress on the broader US Conservation Information Strategy project. Rather, we propose to move forward with planning and implementation of the Vision and identification of additional strategic application pilots in tandem with this NFHI project. As such, clear agreement on capacity and responsibilities of engaged staff (in both projects) must be realized.
Key Positions related to the US Conservation Information Strategy and NFHI Pilot Application (and roles):
US Conservation Information Strategy Sponsor (Bill Waldman) Individual ultimately responsible for success of the project and principle advocate to senior management. Works with Vision Lead to bring required capacity to bear on the project.
US Conservation Information Strategy Lead (Wayne Ostlie) Leads the Vision project and oversees execution of project in line with project plan; collaborates with Sponsor to identify, secure and deliver required capacity to meet objectives of Vision project and pilot applications; manages data manager and analyst and their work toward assembling a comprehensive US ecoregional assessment data set and pilot applications in which they are engaged; works with the CISSC, TIS Cabinet and TIS to identify and ensure development of a system to deliver data to TNC staff and key stakeholders/partners; maintains strong communication with Leads of pilot applications and to ensure that they are structured to inform the Vision project.
NFHI Pilot Application Lead (Jonathan Higgins) Leads TNC engagement with NFHI; maintains effective communication with Vision Lead and Data Manager to ensure efficient and effective development of products to meet obligations and expectations of NFHI; assembles an NFHI cabinet of regional freshwater ecologists and data managers to assist in providing technical assistance and information to the Data Manager in review of freshwater ecoregional assessment data.
US Conservation Information Strategy Data Manager (unfilled) Full-time lead to oversee data management related to the Vision project, including identified pilot applications (including NFHI); manages all facets of data management and is principle voice for system to support the management of Vision data; collaborates with GCAT Systems/Data Manager to ensure requirements are incorporated into CIS Strategy and executed;
During the course of the NFHI pilot application (6-8 months) we propose an initial hiring of the data manager at full capacity, to be continued as a position through FY07. This individual will transition to the broader US Vision or other pilot applications after engagement with NFHI has concluded. This individual should come with strong experience in data base development/management and GIS, and should be conversant in biology and conservation, preferably freshwater and/or marine systems.
3. Rocky Mountain Region & USFS Region 3
In 2005 Arizonas Conservation Science Program completed the integration and standardization of 6 ecoregional assessments for the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico, including the Apache Highlands, AZ-NM Mountains, Colorado Plateau, Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and Southern Rocky Mountains (see graphic below). The data were packaged into a single geodatabase and are publicly available at HYPERLINK "http://www.azconservation.org" www.azconservation.org. The data were rolled up to facilitate cross-ecoregional work with public agencies.
One project where the data are being applied is a joint effort by the Arizona and New Mexico operating units and Region 3 of the U.S. Forest Service. Region 3 is comprised of 11 National Forests spread over 20 million acres of Arizona and New Mexico. Each of the 11 Forests is in process of revising forest plans, most of which are 15- to 20-years old and do not adequately address forest health and biodiversity conservation issues. USFS sought out TNC because they were interested in using our ecoregional assessments and to develop new assessment information to inform the development of new land management strategies. The AZ and NM programs entered into an 18-month cost-share agreement with USFS 3 to synthesize assessment data in preparation for Forest Plan revisions. Half of all National Forest lands in Region 3 were identified in TNCs ecoregional assessments as important areas for biodiversity conservation; our project provides an opportunity to apply science assessment information to real-world challenges faced by our land management colleagues as they begin to develop forest management strategies that will be implemented over the next 15 to 20 years.
As we continue to work with USFS on the synthesis of ecoregional data to meet their needs we propose to complete the standardization and integration of ecoregional data for the remaining 8 ecoregions for which the Rocky Mountain Conservation Region has responsibility. Completion of this project for the RMCR will facilitate similar efforts by other operating units that are currently in negotiation with USFS, BLM and other agencies. Furthermore, six of the RMCRs eight states are engaged in a collaborative effort focused on freshwater systems of the Colorado River Basin. Completion of the roll-up for the RMCR will facilitate efficient analyses and outreach with ecoregional data with the multiple partners TNC seeks to engage in this effort.
The proposed effort to integrate ecoregional assessment data into a standardized geodatabase for the RMCR will be done in conjunction with a parallel effort by the RMCR to develop several other cross-boundary seamless datasets. These foundational data sets will include: (1) a seamless coverage of surface management and land tenure that will facilitate accurate attribution and analyses of conservation status for the RMCR, among other analyses; and (2) a seamless coverage of the National Hydrography Dataset to enable accurate attribution and analyses based on freshwater conservation targets and riverine-based systems, such as for the RMCRs Colorado River Collaborative.
Product Status and Resource Needs
All 14 ecoregional assessments will be standardized and integrated into a single geodatabase with complete metadata and documentation of methodologies. We will follow the protocols developed for Arizonas pilot six-ecoregion geodatabase (Marshall et al 2006), which, in turn, followed TNC ecoregional data standards. Integration of the remaining eight ecoregions into the geodatabase is projected to take one year with the support of two FTEs. An additional FTE will be devoted to the development of the land tenure and freshwater foundational datasets. In total, the proposed project will require the support of 3 FTEs with the following expertise: two ecologists and one GIS/Data Manager.
