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

Approach

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.

Sensitivity

• Climate change will result in native species distribution shifts and community realignments.

Strategy

Increase monitoring and research
