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.
