12 Partnership for Coastal Watersheds South Slough Coastal Frontal

13 Organizations Supporting environmental integrity and economic stability within the Coos Watershed "Improving the understanding and stewardship of Pacific Northwest estuaries and coastal watersheds"

14 Coos Monitoring Programs Inventory

15 Conceptual Models of Watershed Issues (PSR)

16 The local effects of climate change and changes in land use have the potential to affect our community s quality of life and long-term economic viability.

17 The local effects of climate change and changes in land use have the potential to affect our community s quality of life and long-term economic viability. How can our community plan ahead to address these potential changes?

18 What are the local effects of climate change and land use changes? Which local effects do we need to address? What are the appropriate management responses?

19 Partnership project includes four elements: 1. Watershed Assessment and Visioning 2. Watershed Management 3. Watershed Status and Trends Monitoring 4. State of the Watershed Information Website

20 3. Watershed Status and Trends Monitoring Characterize change in the project area and evaluate the effectiveness of management actions. Includes proposed partnership with UO s Climate Leadership Initiative to articulate a suite of possible future scenarios using downscaled climate modeling data

21 3. Watershed Status and Trends Monitoring Ecological indicators will be developed from monitoring parameters such as: Water quality Invasive species Eelgrass Sediment dynamics

22 4. State of the Watershed Information Website Website will support project activities and will include Biennial State of the Watershed assessments to : Track watershed projects Summarize watershed conditions Help local decision makers understand changes in the watershed Help plan future voluntary management actions

24 The Partnership for Coastal Watersheds is intended to be ongoing, allowing our community to consider its options in response to changes characterized by long-term watershed monitoring.
