1 A View from the Gulf Coast: How Does All This Stuff Add Up? John Tirpak, PhD Science Coordinator, USFWS Gulf Restoration Program Lafayette, LA January 21, 2016 Mississippi River Basin/Gulf Hypoxia Initiative Webinar Series
2 Objective Provide a quick overview of some of what s happening on the Gulf and where the MRB/GH Initiative fits Much less time on what we re doing and more time on the way that we re doing it
3 Resource Connections - Watersheds
4 Resource Connections - Flyways

12 Context of the Gulf Unprecedented dollars for restoration are coming to the Gulf of Mexico Widespread concern that the response will be inefficient and uncoordinated
13 Inefficient Explicit objectives provide definitive direction How much? How much more? Where? Why?
14 Uncoordinated Gulf-wide perspective = coordinated response
15 Meetings
16 Projects Gulf Coast Vulnerability Assessment Biological Objectives Gulf-wide Bird Monitoring Network Coastal Resilience Strategic Conservation Assessment Landscape Conservation Design SLAMM Marsh Migration
17 Projects and Products Gulf Coast Vulnerability Assessment Biological Objectives Gulf-wide Bird Monitoring Network Coastal Resilience Strategic Conservation Assessment Landscape Conservation Design SLAMM Marsh Migration
18 What does all this add up to?
19 Strategic Habitat Conservation An adaptive management framework integrating planning, design, delivery and evaluation

27 FUTURE Ecological Flows Mangrove Distribution Urbanization Sea-level Rise
28 Gulf Coast Vulnerability Assessment Incorporating Future Change into Current Conservation Planning Who? What? How habitats and species may respond to climate, SLR, and landuse changes Beaches Oysters Mangroves Marsh Where? How? Teams of experts used compiled data and their experience to complete an index spreadsheet tool (SIVVA) When? Final report completed November 2015

47 Strategic Conservation Assessment Objective: To provide the framework and the information for the Council to prioritize voluntary land conservation activities across the Gulf Conservation design for acquisition and easements Deliverables: Suite of Decision Support Tools Year 1: Tabluar output to rank existing projects Year 2: Spatial output to identify projects Year 3: Advanced modeling for optimization
48 Hypoxia Resilience
49 Integrate Multiple Objectives: Hypoxia Excess nutrients = Gulf of Mexico dead zone
50 Integrate Multiple Objectives: Hypoxia Actions identified to address this issue
51 Integrate Multiple Objectives: Hypoxia Initiatives to implement these actions in place
52 Integrate Multiple Objectives: Hypoxia Numerous partners and initiatives
53 Integrate Multiple Objectives: Hypoxia How can we target wildlife actions to also benefit water quality and agriculture?
