Substantial Cooperation and Involvement by NPS

Substantial cooperation by NPS includes:
� Communication of the required components, level of detail, and general organization of the NPS monitoring protocol
� Review and approval of project scope, approach, and schedules
� Participation by the NPS Program Manager (Moynahan) on the graduate committee of the student selected to work on protocol development and, if required, testing of field methods
� Logistics support for identified field work and sampling, including field crew assistance for park visits, as necessary; data management support for data collection, archiving, and web delivery for interim data products; boat and captain support for accessing sites in GLBA, if required; field sampling (including fuel and NPS staff salaries). Too, the NPS/SEAN primary contact (Moynahan) was substantially involved in the drafting of the scope of work, timeline, and budget constraints. The SEAN Data Manager (Johnson) will be a lead author for protocol chapters and SOPs that focus on data management and data processing.
