Summary
The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) proposes to utilize our Landscape Analysis data, corresponding geospatial ecological metrics, and our collaborative management constituency to address invasive species, land use change, and subsequent impacts to targeted transboundary species within the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE)1. In the coming year, we propose to take a crucial step with our Landscape Analysis and utilize the synthesized geo-spatial data for two distinct objectives; i) Develop coordinated cross-jurisdictional management outcomes for a suite of transboundary species using occupancy and abundance models for grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), wolverine (Gulo gulo), cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki), and bull trout (Salvelinus [...]

The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) proposes to utilize our Landscape Analysis data, corresponding geospatial ecological metrics, and our collaborative management constituency to address invasive species, land use change, and subsequent impacts to targeted transboundary species within the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE)1. In the coming year, we propose to take a crucial step with our Landscape Analysis and utilize the synthesized geo-spatial data for two distinct objectives; i) Develop coordinated cross-jurisdictional management outcomes for a suite of transboundary species using occupancy and abundance models for grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), wolverine (Gulo gulo), cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki), and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), and ii) Develop and implement a management strategy for aquatic invasive species (AIS) across the CCE2. Both of these objectives aim to deliver science and information products to our network of managers, enabling coordinated management for conservation of targeted transboundary species and providing a management and monitoring framework for containment and prevention of AIS. These objectives are targeted strategies of the overall CMP Strategic Plan3, while advancing the Great Northern LCC’s objectives for invasive species and management of targeted species in the Rocky Mountain Ecotypic Area.
