Workshop Purpose definition

Workshop Purpose. In concert with state and federal agencies, local and tribal governments, nongovernmental organizations, and academia, the states will hold a West Coast IEA workshop in the Summer or Fall of 2012 to discuss the current thinking about integrated ecosystem assessments as an analytical tool to improve management, and to initiate the process to develop R-IEAs and the West Coast IEA. The primary purpose of the West Coast IEA workshop will be to gain consensus about the conceptual approach that will be followed, identify the scope of relevant management issues, and present the driver-stressor-response and risk analysis models. Participants will identify commonalities among likely useful indicators, quantitative methods, and establish a process for periodic exchanges of technical information as each R-IEA progresses. The workshop will also establish the framework required to ensure interoperability of the R-IEAs for future assembly into the broader-scale WC-IEA. Note: NOAA (Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management) has proposed to host two workshops, the first primarily for an audience of coastal managers where the participants would be introduced to the concept of IEAs and identify pressing management issues. The second workshop will target a more technical audience and focus on indicators, data availability, and development of the IEAs. If these national-level workshops take place, it will be important for the WCGA IEA ACT to leverage with NOAA efforts to coordinate planning for the West Coast IEA workshop, and to ensure that the conceptual approach, selection of indicators, and risk analyses are fully compatible and interoperable for Washington, Oregon, and California. It is possible to seek support from NOAA/OCRM to hold the West Coast IEA workshop as a special-area focus meeting during their planning for the national-level events.
