Classifieds Books from AIBS This white paper, Rationale, Blueprint, and Expectations for the National Ecological Observatory Network , was developed by the IBRCS Working Group. It was released at the National Press Club on March 25, 2003. Its aim is to advance the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) initiative by explaining the scientific rationale behind the need for NEON, how NEON will operate to meet that need, and the results that NEON is expected to produce. The IBRCS Working Group, which has diverse representation from the biological and scientific community, was aided in its preparation of the white paper by input from other scientists and organizations. As a result, this white paper represents the views of a broad segment of the scientific community. NEON mission.

Extractions: FIELD STATION The Year of the Ocean (1998) focused attention on the earths declining oceans. The sea otter is the keystone species for the nearshore marine environment. Sea otter populations are in decline both in California and Alaska, and the California population is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The lead scientist and staff at the Santa Cruz Field Station conduct research on marine and coastal ecosystems, with special emphasis on the threatened southern sea otter. Science expertise includes behavior and population biology of marine vertebrates, the ecology of marine and coastal ecosystems, inventory and survey techniques, and applied statistics. Research on sea otters is mandated by the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. For California, this research is the responsibility of the USGS Western Ecological Research Center. The research program is headquartered at the Santa Cruz Field Station, whose offices are on the campus of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz provides access to California sea otters for field studies and university collaboration. An additional research facility is located at Piedras Blancas in San Luis Obispo County. The main clients are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Minerals Management Service, California Department of Fish and Game, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS), Olympic National Park, other scientists, and various conservation nongovernment organizations, most notably the Friends of the Sea Otter. The sea otter program also coordinates closely with the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission.
