Service Description: This dataset is a compilation of data collected and synthesized by partners of the Kelp Forest Monitoring Alliance of Washington State (KelpForestsWA). This dataset is a compilation of data collected and synthesized by partners of the Kelp Forest Monitoring Alliance of Washington State. The Alliance unites a diverse set of organizations, working together to track floating kelp status and trends across Washington State. The Alliance works to advance understanding and conservation through coproduction of knowledge and information sharing. The primary product is the statewide Floating Kelp Indicator which synthesizes multiple monitoring datasets from state agency monitoring, community science, Indigenous Scientific Knowledge, and other sources. The statewide indicator provides regional monitoring data to the Puget Sound Partnership’s Vital Signs program and other research and management efforts. Through collaborations and partnerships, the Alliance links floating kelp monitoring to broader ecosystem topics, including species that depend on floating kelp, understory kelp monitoring, stressors, restoration, and management. Primary data collection methods include fixed-wing imagery and kayaks. The monitoring program synthesizes data collected by three organizations, using custom protocols: - The Samish Indian Nation - The Northwest Straits Commission and county Marine Resource Committees (MRCs) - The Nearshore Habitat Program in the Washington State Department of Natural Resources
