The goal is to inform the CA Ocean Protection Council on best approaches, as their goal is to fund these mapping programs towards the states 30 by 30 initiative.

Thanks. We'll be publishing a white paper at the end of the process (July??) Covering our panel's findings as well as panels on mapping of dunes, rocky intertidal, and wetlands.

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

For our first meeting we defined what the habitat is and what our boundaries are. Next step is to evaluate different mapping techniques- divers to sonar to satellites

We had a great kickoff meeting today, convening an expert panel to help us develop recommendations for California to develop a state-wide #eelgrass mapping program. We have a great team of folks from NOAA, NMFS, EPA, NASA/JPL, and the private sector

How do you approach quantifying it? In-sediment imaging (SPI or other) or do you infer it from the species list? I'm asking from a quantification of ecosystem services perspective

#Ecologists suffer from a burden of knowledge unlike that of most careers... Not only are we often underpaid, but we are also forced to watch the things we most care about be destroyed by apathetic or malicious humans who live blissfully ignorant to the importance of the natural world.... #ecogrief

David GILLETT | Senior Researcher | PhD. | Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, Costa Mesa | SCCWRP | Department of Biology | Research profile I am interested in how to use the flora and fauna of marine, estuarine, and freshwater systems to assess the health and functioning of the ecosystem. More importantly, I also focus on how to translate...
