title:
	Alaska Regional Refuge Inventory and Monitoring Strategic Plan

subject:
	[inventory, monitor, invmon, plan]

description:
	The Alaska Inventory and Monitoring team (I&M team) developed this plan to 
	provide the vision and objectives that will guide I&M staff activities and 
	funds. We established the objectives based on direction from the national I&M 
	initiative, the NWRS vision, and recommendations in Conserving the Future
	(https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/64129). We looked to our own 
	experience with Alaska refuge science needs, and obtained input from refuge 
	managers and biologists. We will support the recently established Alaska NWRS 
	objective of ensuring the use of science to inform management actions (Region 7 
	NWRS Priority Setting and Strategic Planning Meeting, October 31 – November 4, 
	2016, Anchorage). We will develop specific actions for the next 5 years 
	(2018-2023) in an Implementation Plan, providing the basis for annual work plans 
	and budgets. This will ensure activities and budget expenditures are 
	transparent, prioritized, and will clarify staff roles and responsibilities.

	The final version of the plan was created on 20170405. The plan was signed and 
	distributed by Mitch Ellis (Chief of Refuges, Alaska Region) on 20170407 and 
	distributed to Alaska Region Refuge Division Chiefs, Refuge Managers and Refuge 
	Biologists as an attachment to an email message (Subject: I&M Strategic Plan - 
	Final; Message-ID: <CAAPMbSnCVrCHQUAmmxS4UQL+moPLGF5Y4jgRa+zgKXbQfx-z-w@mail.gmail.com>).
