Future Agenda Items (running list):

  • Communication Partnership for Science and the Sea (COMPASS)
  • Data integration across monitoring programs (e.g., water quality, PISCO, MARINe, IOOS), and availability to the public
  • Recent event: Supreme Court allows Navy Sonar (per John Hunt)
  • Predicting sea level rise for the state of California (Larry Breaker, JPL, OPC)
  • National Weather Service Forecast Office (Tom Evans, Warning Coordination Meteorologist)
  • EMBI/IEA
    • IEAs, including those that have been implemented (e.g., Phil Levin, Frank Schwing, John Stein; per Yoklavich)
  • MPAs
    • State MPA monitoring projects (Jason Vasques)
  • Ken Johnson work in Elkhorn Slough (per McPhee-Shaw)
  • Marine Policy issues (Sacramento; D.C.) that may need science input (per Ramp; Aimee David volunteered; or Adina Abeles)
  • Climate Change
    • Rather than MBNMS tackle all climate change topics, perhaps let GFNMS/CBNMS continue as lead on climate change issues (per DeVogelaere), and request the following presentations:
      • GFNMS/CBNMS Ocean Climate Initiative (speaker: Higgason)
      • GFNMS/CBNMS Climate Change Impacts Report (speaker: Largier)
    • Perhaps tackle what GFNMS/CBNMS not working on (e.g., low oxygen; per Kudela)
    • Storlazzi is willing to help organize a general meeting on climate change science; State of the Science of climate change; adaptation plans; Perhaps MBCORC hosts a 1 or 2 day science meeting
      • CA coast (Lisa Sloan, UCSC; sea level rise, Breaker)
      • High-res climate models of CA (UCSC; or Dan Cayan or Dettinger/USGS)
      • What differences MBNMS might observe (per Starr)
      • NOAA Coastal Services Center putting together climate adaptation visualization tool (per Hunt)
  • Beach COMBERS Program
    • How Beach COMBERS program linked to oil spill response (GFNMS) and how Beach COMBERS data fits into response (per Hunt)
  • How is MBNMS and region involved and/or linked to NOAA's Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning effort (per Lindholm)
  • Desalination update (per Abeles); things have changed since Brad Damitz talked to the RAP; speaker: Carol Reeb (Hopkins)
