Book excerpt: The Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN) serves as a regional organization of the National Park Service for inventorying and monitoring Alaska's parks in the maritime ecoregion of southwestern Alaska. ABR, Inc. is assisting the National Park Service in the design and testing of monitoring protocols for implementation in SWAN. This effort has benefited from other efforts to develop regional monitoring protocols and it is expected that many of the protocols will be applicable to other parks with coastal ecosystems, as well as to U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service coastal refuges.

Book excerpt: This document provides a comprehensive plan for long-term monitoring of nearshore marine resources in the National Park Service's (NPS) Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN) parks. The objective of plan is to assist managers in preserving park resources by documenting changes to these resources over time and suggesting possible causes for these changes. The monitoring encompasses all major elements of the nearshore trophic web, from primary producers to apex predators, and focuses on six vital signs: kelp and seagrasses, marine intertidal invertebrates, marine birds, black oystercatchers, sea otters, and marine water chemistry and quality.

Book excerpt: In 2009, we successfully completed a fourth year of protocol development and field sampling for the Southwest Alaska Network's (SWAN) Nearshore Vital Signs monitoring program in accordance with standard operating procedures set forth for each of six vital signs (marine intertidal invertebrates, kelp and seagrass, marine water chemistry and quality, marine birds, black oystercatcher, and sea otter). Soft sediment intertidal invertebrate sampling and skiff-based marine bird surveys were implemented for the first time in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL) in 2009.

Download or read book National Visitor Use Monitoring Implementation in Alaska written by United States Department of Agriculture and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USDA Forest Service implemented the National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) program across the entire National Forest System (NFS) in calendar year 2000. The primary objective of the NVUM program is to develop reliable estimates of recreation use on NFS lands via a nationally consistent, statistically valid sampling approach. Secondary objectives of NVUM are to characterize recreation visits, collect data in support of regional economic analyses, and gauge national forest visitor satisfaction. We document and review the round 1 NVUM implementation in the USDA Forest Service Alaska Region (R-10) with examination of the R-10 prework, sample day implementation, survey completion rates, sampling at cabins, boat docks, and air carriers; and the NVUM expansion weights assigned to survey cases. Several opportunities to improve the implementation of the standard NVUM protocols in R-10 are identified.

This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Download or read book Measuring and Monitoring Plant Populations written by Caryl Elzinga and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical reference applies to monitoring situations involving a single plant species, such as an indicator species, key species, or weed. It was originally developed for monitoring special status plants, which have some recognized status at the Federal, State, or agency level because of their rarity or vulnerability. Most examples and discussions in this technical reference focus on these special status species, but the methods described are also applicable to any single-species monitoring and even some community monitoring situations.We thus hope wildlife biologists, range conservationists, botanists, and ecologists will all find this technical reference helpful.
