U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey
2 Talk Overview USGS involvement in NRDAR Value/Purpose of monitoring for restoration success in NRDAR Examples of monitoring in proposed early restoration projects for DWH Looking to the future
3 USGS and the DOI NRDAR Program Not an affected bureau on NRDAR claims Science support for DOI NRDAR cases Develops scientifically defensible case strategies, injury assessments, and restoration alternatives Provides scientific review and guidance to the NRDAR Program Office Provides expert witness or witness of fact testimony for science in support of NRDAR cases
4 USGS involved in various DOI NRDAR activities in Gulf of Mexico states Science to Document Injury Science to Quantify Damages Science in Support of Litigation Science in Support of Restoration Science to Evaluate Restoration Success
5 Science for NRDAR This image cannot currently be displayed. Contaminant Release Injury ID Nexus to Injury Baseline Natural History Lessons Learned Science Basic Research Restoration Monitoring Corrective Action and/or Adaptive Management Graphic modified from Mike Hooper/USGS Photo by Lee Celano/Reuters
6 Why monitor for restoration success? Accountability: Demonstrates obligation to compensate the public for lost and injured natural resources has been fulfilled Increase potential for success: Allows for corrective action and/or adaptive management if restoration goals are not being met Evaluates recovery of an ecosystem as a measure of ecosystem services rather than focusing solely on physical restoration Enables learning beneficial to implementation of future restoration activities
7 Restoration versus Early Restoration Release Assessment Settlement Restoration Monitoring Early Restoration Monitoring Restore injured resources prior to completion of the damage assessment Derive NRD offsets where trustees calculate expected benefits (in ecological service or monetary terms) applied to reduce RP s NRD liability (from Draft Phase III ERP/PEIS) Approach to monitoring could differ between restoration and early restoration Photo by Kari Dequine The Times/Picayune
8 Examples of Early Restoration project types This image cannot currently be displayed. Create and Improve Wetlands Restore Barrier Islands and Beaches Restore and Protect Birds Restore and Protect Sea Turtles Restore and Protect SAV Conserve Habitat Promote Environmental and Cultural Stewardship, Education and Outreach Enhance Recreational Experiences Monitoring approaches with respect to guidelines of framework agreement Photo provided by Ben Frater/FWS
9 How would one monitor the success of these proposed restoration projects? Beach Enhancement Project at Gulf Island National Seashore Offsets and project objectives related to human use Success of project is determined by visitor experience Louisiana Outer Coast Restoration Project Offsets and project objectives related to habitat and birds Success of project is determined by increase in habitat and birds
10 With this background, what is the proposed approach for early restoration monitoring? Trustee workgroup(s) created Develop monitoring frameworks for early restoration project types the NOAA ladies leading the charge Frameworks are guidelines with science and monitoring included to assess the success of the project related to the natural resource it is intended to restore Frameworks provide the potential for projects restoring similar resources to have consistent, comparable, long-term data This image cannot currently be displayed. American Bird Conservancy
11 Monitoring frameworks include: Performance Monitoring Evaluate effectiveness in meeting objectives and need for corrective actions Additional Monitoring (optional, project-specific) Support existing project planning and implementation Support project evaluation and management Support future project planning and implementation (e.g., future project design, restoration scaling assumptions) Gain additional scientific knowledge on restoration ecology Details Incorporated: Parameters & Methods Recommended Timing/Frequency Performance Criteria Corrective Actions
12 Example: Monitoring for the proposed Outer Coast project Restore beach, dune, and back-barrier marsh habitats in LA Detect presence of nesting pelicans, terns/skimmers and gulls within restored habitat areas Potential monitoring components: Caillou Lake Headlands (Whiskey) Chenier Ronquille North Breton Barrier island structure and function (e.g. shoreline position, stability, area, elevation, volume) Bird habitat use and nesting activity (e.g. habitat occupancy surveys, colony size, nest densities) Shell Island Habitat characteristics (e.g. species composition, vegetation cover, nekton and invertebrate population densities, habitat areal coverage)
13 Challenges in Coordinating Monitoring for proposed Outer Coast project Logistical-multiple moving parts 3 implementing trustees Construction timelines Amount of data to be acquired and managed Background/Science needed American Bird Conservancy
14 Science to support the proposed Outer Coast project Identifying appropriate sand resource Color, size, location/distance Ensuring location does not affect island Sustainable design Linking habitat type to bird utilization Accomplished by: Field work Modeling Data analysis Brian Spears, FWS Long-term response of the system to restoration
15 Leveraging Existing Programs for the proposed Outer Coast project State of LA (CPRA)-Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring FWS, LADNR, & USGS bird monitoring USGS National Geospatial Program USGS and LA Database Management USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program
16 Examples of Desired Outcomes: Guide projects on need/timing for corrective actions Provide information to the public on restoring injured resources Learn for future restoration projects Successful Gulf Restoration
17 Moving forward in the bigger picture: the DOI NRDAR Program Investment in restoration monitoring is essential Provides guidance for adaptive strategies Allows for evaluation of restoration success Documents that the public is compensated for losses by insuring impaired ecosystem services are replaced Drawing together ecotoxicology and restoration communities
