FORT scientists facilitate staff engagement in BLM National Monument Science Strategies, Cotoni-Coast Dairies
Scientists from the Fort Collins Science Center organized a site visit with staff from the BLM Central Coast Field Office in California to encourage collaboration on a new Science Strategy for Cotoni-Coast Dairies, an onshore unit of the California Coastal National Monument.
During this meeting, USGS met with Central Coast Field Office staff to better understand the unit and context of identified science needs, and to share information about the Science Strategy process with leadership from the BLM California State Office and from BLM Field Offices across California.
The BLM’s National Landscape Conservation System promotes National Monuments as sites for scientific research. Science Strategies can be used by BLM staff, partners, and other individuals and organizations with an interest in science on the unit to help identify and prioritize research efforts that can inform management decisions and actions on and around each National Monument. USGS and BLM are working together to develop Science Strategies for monuments and National Conservation Areas to identify research priorities and key knowledge gaps for each unit.
