Future Agenda Items (running list):

  • Data integration across monitoring programs (e.g., water quality, PISCO, MARINe, IOOS), and availability to the public
  • Predicting sea level rise for the state of California (Larry Breaker, JPL, OPC)
  • EBMI/IEA presentations
    • 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)
    • Combine several sea level rise talks, including southern Monterey Bay group, tidal wetland plan (Largay), and Breaker's talk (not urgent)
  • Beach COMBERS Program
    • How Beach COMBERS program linked to oil spill response (GFNMS) and how Beach COMBERS data fits into response (per Hunt)
  • Desalination update (per Abeles); things have changed since Brad Damitz talked to the RAP; get speakers who lead projects (MBNMS staff to determine; ask Raimondi for advice...Cambria)
  • RAP Membership Committee update
