Goal: Implement Recommendation 1.5 of the Delta CHABs Monitoring Strategy (PDF)
“Recommendation 1.5: Hold an annual meeting focused specifically on Delta CHABs
As recommendations are implemented and lessons are learned, consistent meetings with people engaged in Delta CHAB monitoring are necessary. This allows a cohesive approach to CHAB monitoring and community-based course correction to support adaptive management. An annual meeting is an important event that can be used to inform the community about ongoing efforts related to CHABs.”
