Goal
By concentrating geospatial infrastructure within and around biomonitoring stations and linking that infrastructure to a common reference frame through robust surveying methodology, we can enhance capacity to assess change and increase our confidence in our understanding of complex spatial relationships.

Definition: Sentinel Sites Discrete locations in coastal and marine environments that have the operational capacity for intensive study and sustained observations to detect and understand changes in the ecosystems they represent.

Control Monument
CORS
•Minimum of three geodetic control markers at each reserve.
•Simultaneous observations of all 3 markers, during two separate GPS constellations.
•Observe for as long as practicable, 5 – 48 hour sessions recommended.
Establishing a Local Geodetic Network at Each Reserve
Tool: Static GPS
Result: Sub-decimeter accuracy to the National CORS network.
•Use OPUS to reduce GPS data and select option to “submit to database”.
•Final positions are the average of the two independent solutions.

Control Monument
SET
SWMP Station
•Double run level loop (per NGS guidelines) through all Control Monuments, SWMP Station, or NWLON station if available, and as many SETs or other sensors as can be leveled to.
•Data are reduced using LOCUS tool.
•Averaged OPUS GPS Derived Heights held at one Control Monument.
•OPUS results from other monuments archived for future comparison.
Connecting NERRS sensors to the Local Geodetic NetworkTool: Geodetic Leveling
Result: Sub-Centimeter relative accuracy to the local network

Control Monument
SET
SWMP Station
•Following NGS RTK Guidelines, use RTK to determine position information for all sensors and other measurements not accessible by geodetic leveling.
•All RTK observations are conducted with the base station set up at one of the 3 local control marks.
Connecting NERRS sensors to the Local Geodetic NetworkTool: Kinematic GPS
Result: Centimeter level relative accuracy to the local network.

Example GeographiesThe following geographies have been identified by the working group as example locations to explore due to existing NOAA investments and infrastructure. These geographies and specific sites within them will be used to begin discussions at the regional level where other ideas will be encouraged.
