1 The Guanabara Bay Report Card Bill Dennison 29 April 2016
2 university of Maryland Center for environmental science and the integration and application Network UMCES formed in 1925 to provide practical environmental advice UMCES defines scholarship as discovery, integration, application, and teaching IAN was created in 2002 to address integration and application
3 Who are we? IAN s aim is to enable better communication to empower change.
4 IAN has three main focus areas Develop Science Communication products Environmental Report Cards Science Communication Training
5 Solving, not just studying environmental problems STUDY Dispassionate Embrace complexity Publish & funding via peer review Getting it right SOLVE Passionate Simplify Publish & funding via stakeholders Getting it done
6 Synthesizing information for less technical audiences Synthesis Visualization Context Synthesized data Illustrate key points So what?
7 What is an ecosystem health Broad-level assessments of a region or system Communicate complex information Based on real data: transparent and defendable Provide accountability Engage communities report card?
8 Ecosystem health report cards are an effective communication tool Peer pressure is a powerful human motivator Educational report cards are a common experience Report cards synthesize large amounts of data
9 outcomes of ecosystem health report cards Well received and influential Comprehensive package goes beyond simple grading Visually appealing Being local sense of ownership Educational
10 Report cards address many Top tier = Report card 2 nd Tier = Newsletter, website 3 rd Tier = Technical reports, scientific literature Base = Data audiences
11 We have developed report cards in iconic regions around the world
12 Report cards are a five step process
13 We use a partnership approach and want to engage you in this process
14 Conceptual mapping exercise
15 Initial Conceptual maps
16 Guanabara Bay key values & major threats
17 Reporting region discussion
18 Reporting regions: Guanabara Bay & river basin
19 Potential indicators for guanabara bay
20 Potential indicators for the guanabara bay Basin Dissolved oxygen Biological oxygen demand Total phosphorus Turbidity Total dissolved solids Air/water temperature Nitrate Coliforms ph
21 Initial workshop newsletter will be discussed after lunch Globally iconic locaaon Pressing environmental problems Need for scienafically rigorous, transparent assessments to track restoraaon progress
22 We will produce a printed report card for guanabara bay (like chesapeake bay)
23 we also will add the guanabara bay report card to ecoreportcard.org
24 the website allows people to investigate the data
25 the website provides detailed explanations
26 the website provides the methodology
27 guanabara bay report card home page example guanabara- bay/ How healthy is your Guanabara Bay?
28 guanabara bay report card
29 Guanabara Bay basin report card
30 guanabara bay basin report card example Guapimirim- Macacu Basin Coliform: Dissolved oxygen: Nitrate: Overall Score:?
31 Guanabara Bay is an amazing place BeauAful natural harbor It alracts people to live, work, and play
32 Guanabara Bay is vulnerable to human impact Restricted exchange with ocean Poor flushing where it is needed most
33 guanabara bay has some significant environmental impacts Visible (e.g. liler) Invisible (e.g. bacterial contaminaaon)
34 There is strong interest in improving Guanabara Bay (This is why we are all here today)
35 We have a unique opportunity to accelerate Guanabara Bay restoration
36 There is a strong scientific foundation for Guanabara Bay research and monitoring
37 We can build on this foundation to create a scientifically rigorous, transparent process for tracking restoration progress guanabara- bay/ How healthy is your Guanabara Bay?
38 We look forward to engaging with you in this process
39 Thank you

42 Report cards are a five step process
43 1. Conceptual framework 2. Indicators 3. Thresholds 4. Calculate scores 5. Communicate results Workshop to idenafy values and threats Brings together relevant experts and stakeholders in one place at one Ame Together develop content and structure of report card Builds consensus amongst different paraes IteraAve review and ediang during and aver workshop

45 1. Conceptual framework 2. Indicators 3. Thresholds 4. Calculate scores 5. Communicate results Chesapeake Bay Indicators measure values and threats
46 1. Conceptual framework 2. Indicators 3. Thresholds 4. Calculate scores 5. Communicate results The method of assigning thresholds for each indicator can be based on either, or a combinaaon, of the following: Regulatory guidelines (e.g. local or regional water quality guidelines); Biological limits (e.g. dissolved oxygen requirements for protecaon of an important species); Socio/economic requirements (e.g. minimal fish stocks determined to be required for sustainable fishery); Reference condiaons (e.g. historical baseline or nearby system with condiaons that would like to be matched); Professional judgment
47 1. Conceptual framework 2. Indicators 3. Thresholds 4. Calculate scores 5. Communicate results Score CalculaAon Methods 1. Prepare Data : Calculate annual mean, median (or mula- year rolling mean or median) for each indicator 2. Assess data against thresholds % of measured or interpolated area that meets or does not meet threshold OR % of sites that meets or does not meet threshold
