Approach

Conduct biodiversity surveys to describe current baseline conditions and manage distribution shifts.

Tactics

  • Formalize expand and standardized biological monitoring programs (e.g., management indicator species).
  • Use modern, low-cost technologies like eDNA, DNA barcoding, and digital photopoints.
  • Assist species migrations.
  • Use digital technology in data collection and database uploads.
  • Streamline and integrate field crew data collection protocols.
  • Use existing corporate databases (e.g., AqS module in NRM) and legacy datasets.
