Description:
The Makah and Shoalwater Bay Tribes from the Pacific Northwest oversee and manage their natural resources like forestry and fisheries. Three Tribal environmental professionals from the Makah fisheries group and one from the Shoalwater Bay Tribe participated in EPA's National Coastal Assessment (NCA) training. The NCA Program employs a probabilistic design and a common core set of survey indicators. After three invensive days of lecture and "hands on" field training at EPA's Gulf Ecology Division, each participant received a certificate of completion of training. This is a three-year goal of providing training for a geographically distributed, critical mass of tribal environmental professionals who will, in turn, train all coastal Tribes.
