A diversity of funding disbursement mechanisms will enable State investments to be strategically targeted to maximize costeffectiveness, transparency, and efficiency across the breadth of activities within the program. We provide specific recommendations for when to apply each mechanism, considerations, and estimated timelines for each process. Additionally, Appendix A contains templates for each of these mechanisms, and Appendix B is a more detailed memorandum focused on developing and implementing an Expressions of Interest (EOIs) process.161749:3https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=161749Mon, 17 Apr 2023 00:19:41 -07002018-10-01T00:00:00Long-term Monitoring - The MPA Monitoring Action Plan (Action Plan) informs next steps for long-term MPA monitoring in California by aggregating and synthesizing work to date, as well as by incorporating novel, quantitative, and expert-informed approaches. The Action Plan prioritizes key measures, metrics, habitats, sites, species, human uses, and management questions to target for long-term monitoring to inform the evaluation of California’s MPA Network. For example, the Action Plan includes select species-level, community-level, physical, chemical, and human use measures and metrics identified to advance understanding of conditions and trends across the MPA Network. MPA index monitoring sites are prioritized based on scoring MPAs against four defined criteria that evaluated various aspects of individual MPAs, including 1) MPA design features, 2) historical coastwide monitoring, 3) habitat-based connectivity modeling, and 4) local recreational fishing effort prior to MPA implementation. These index sites are recommended using a tiered approach across three bioregions to create scalable monitoring options based on available resources and capacity. The Action Plan also provides lists of species and species groups to target for long-term monitoring, and highlights examples of existing programs that can contribute to long-term monitoring in California. In addition, the Action Plan incorporates longterm monitoring approaches to inform adaptive management. Specifically, quantitative analyses focused on detecting population responses to MPAs over time, incorporating spatial differences in fishing mortality rates, informing sample design for deepwater surveys, and comparing various fish monitoring techniques used for nearshore marine ecosystems and MPAs.161748:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=161748Mon, 17 Apr 2023 00:19:38 -07002018-10-01T00:00:00Long-term Monitoring - The MPA Monitoring Action Plan (Action Plan) informs next steps for long-term MPA monitoring in California by aggregating and synthesizing work to date, as well as by incorporating novel, quantitative, and expert-informed approaches.

The MPAs were adopted by the California Fish and Game Commission (Commission) in November 2002, after more than four years of public meetings, working group discussions, and scientific analysis. The network consists of ten State Marine Reserves (SMRs) where no take of living, geological, or cultural resources is allowed except for permitted scientific collection and two State Marine Conservation Areas (SMCAs) where limited commercial and/or recreational take is allowed. The no-take areas represent approximately 132 square nautical miles, or approximately 19% of the State waters within the Sanctuary. The limited take areas represent an additional 10 square nautical miles of area.159242:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=159242Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:59:15 -07002004-02-01T00:00:00Long-Term-MonitoringROV CIAP Grant Final Report - Deep-water ocean habitats contain a diversity of species that are important commercially and recreationally. While these areas have been fished for decades, little is known about these habitats and their associated communities compared to shallower areas. The growing use of underwater visual survey tools including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) aims to close this knowledge gap and provide valuable data that informs species and ecosystem management. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) began developing ROV-based deep-water assessments in 1997 after obtaining a ROV with funds from California Sea Grant and CDFW. Since then, CDFW has formed partnerships focused on expanding its ROV survey capabilities collecting data for both marine protected area (MPA) assessment and fisheries management. Surveys completed under this grant were led and supervised by staff from the CDFW’s Statewide Marine Protect Areas Management Project. Additional funding to complete the statewide surveys was provided in the form of staff time and an additional allocation of $325,000 to contracted technical services from MARE.159232:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=159232Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:46:02 -07002017-01-01T00:00:00Long-Term-Monitoringscientific collecting permit - Marine protected areas (MPAs) and MPA networks are important management tools that often have multiple goals and must balance potentially conflicting activities, one of which is scientific research. MPAs provide unique and important research opportunities because their ecosystems are subject to minimal human disturbance. Moreover, research is essential for evaluating MPA performance, and thus is an integral component of MPA management. However, scientific research may also impact the biota and habitats being studied. Hence, MPA managers must understand and weigh the ecological costs and benefits of proposed research activities to determine whether they can be permitted within MPA boundaries without compromising the effectiveness of the MPA or the integrity of an MPA network.159241:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=159241Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:45:07 -07002017-07-01T00:00:00Long-Term-MonitoringWorkshop Summary - The Department convened a workshop titled “Regional Ocean Modeling for Site Selection” in Santa Cruz, California, on August 10-11, 2017. The purpose of this two-day workshop was to facilitate the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) effort in progress by Dr. Pete Raimondi and Dr. Mark Carr of UC Santa Cruz, and develop a shared understanding for how the Department may utilize their ROMS connectivity modeling results to inform long-term MPA monitoring site selection.159228:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=159228Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:44:02 -07002017-08-10T00:00:00Long-Term-MonitoringWorkshop Summary - The California Ocean Protection Council, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories convened a two-day workshop in Moss landing on April 19- 20, 2017 engaging deep water ecosystem monitoring experts in discussions around developing a deep-water ecosystem monitoring framework to support statewide marine protected area (MPA) monitoring, including monitoring of both individual MPAs and California’s MPA Network. The objectives of the workshop were to: 1) discuss and identify the most important MPA monitoring questions to address, including adaptive management questions; 2) identify which taxa and habitats are most important to monitor to address the monitoring questions; and 3) limit the range of possible objectives related to monitoring.159229:3https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=159229Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:43:40 -07002017-04-19T00:00:00Long-Term-MonitoringWorkshop Summary - The California Ocean Protection Council (OPC), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) hosted a two-day workshop in Moss Landing on June 26th – 27th to continue developing a strategy for the long-term monitoring of deep-water marine protected areas (MPA) in California. Experts from across the state were involved in discussions and breakout sessions to identify viable tools and sample designs that would meet the State’s objectives.159231:3https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=159231Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:43:18 -07002017-06-26T00:00:00Long-Term-MonitoringWorkshop Summary - California’s marine protected areas (MPAs) were designed to function as a cohesive and ecologically connected network, pursuant to the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA).1 The MLPA also requires that the network be monitored to evaluate progress towards meeting the MLPA goals and to inform adaptive management.2 As a first step, the state implemented Phase 1 of the Statewide MPA Monitoring Program (2007 – 2018) to conduct regional baseline monitoring near the time of MPA implementation. Baseline monitoring established a comprehensive benchmark of ecological and socioeconomic conditions across the state, and provided an important set of data against which future MPA performance can be measured.3 Building on Phase 1, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) are developing priorities and strategies for Phase 2, statewide long-term monitoring. A Statewide MPA Monitoring Action Plan (Action Plan) is now under development by CDFW and OPC to prioritize MPA index sites, and ecological and socioeconomic indicators for long-term monitoring, and to help guide cost-effective spending and funding for future monitoring projects. The Action Plan will aggregate monitoring recommendations presented in Phase 1 regional MPA monitoring plans and technical reports with novel quantitative and expert informed approaches for long-term monitoring.159227:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=159227Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:42:49 -07002018-01-02T00:00:00MasterPlanMPAs -
