Abstract: Inventory and monitoring are two essential steps in the development of a scientifically based resource protection strategy for the National Park Service. Data collection must be conducted in a statistically valid manner following a prescribed methodology.

Resource specialists from parks within the North Coast and Cascades Network will consult with University statisticians to jointly develop credible sampling protocols and data analysis.
