. . , , '. '~ ('. ~ . 13 new set ofMO's that resulted from its effort to develop an GCD-AMP strategic plan. The full GCD- strategic plan was completed i,n FY 2002-03. Revision Process As part of the GCD-AMP strategic planning process, the INs were revised and approved by the AMWG in August 2003. The approved MO's and INs are listed in APPENDIX B. The monitoring and research activities proposed in the FY 2006 Work Plan are intended to address the current management objectives and inforn1ation needs. The specific MO's addressed by the monitoring and research activities proposed in this plan are listed in APPENDIX B and referenced in the project descriptions. GCMRC's PROPOSED SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES The FY 2006 Work Plan describes monitoring and research activities that address the management objectives (MO's) and information needs (INS)3 of the GCD-AMP to the extent allowed under current ftpl'ding (see APPENDIX B). Projects described as provision with respect to long-term monitoring (see column B of APPENDICES A and C), are designed to determine changes in resource attributes. These science projects arc currently being rcviewed by external experts on a technical basis, as well as being evaluated by the Technical Workgroup's Core- Monitoring Plan ad hoc group (CMP) with respect to their appropriateness in meeting the dcsignated information needs of the overall GCD-AMP. Research is used to improve monitoring, interpret and explain trends observed from monitoring - most critically to determine cause-and-effect relationships with dam operations (or other non-dam influences) and complex resource interactions or associations, and to better define interrelationships among physical, biological and social processes. The GCMRC is lead on the development of the Strategic Science Implementation Plan (SSIP) and within that activity is also leading the way toward a research plan, including a next-phase experimental design to follow the experimental work of 2003-2006, as well as development of a core-monitoring plan. In addition, GCMRC has responsibility for management and dissemination of technical information in the GCD-AMP program. Included, is development and maintenance of its sophisticated Oracle database management system for archiving data collected as a result of 3 The MO's and the IN's are currently undergoing revision. This Work Plan references the draft revised MO's. The fNs are being revised and they are not included in this document. GCMRC FY2006 Annual Work Plan (Draft, June 10,2005) e I i. .
