Article abstract: This Connectivity Monitoring Strategic Plan (CMSP) provides direction for connectivity monitoring that helps assess if these dual goals are being achieved, and for identifying and informing adaptive management actions to maintain, restore or improve connectivity between conserved core areas in San Diego County. (An additional section will be added to the CMSP in the near future to further address connectivity monitoring as it relates to ecosystem function.) Since significant portions of the core reserves identified in the MSCP have been assembled, the initial geographic focus of the CMSP is on the MSCP plan area. However, initial connectivity monitoring will directly or indirectly inform connectivity decisions in all plan areas. As connectivity monitoring protocols are evaluated and improved upon, they will provide the basis for consistent and effective connectivity monitoring throughout San Diego County.
