Article abstract: INTRODUCTION: The San Diego Multiple Species Conservation program (MSCP) was developed for the conservation of plants and animals in the southeast portion of San Diego County. To assess the success of the MSCP and to evaluate the effectiveness of management actions implemented at the reserve level it is critical to monitor the species covered by the plan. Proper management of the preserve system will require ongoing collection and analysis of data on specific species and habitats to determine that species populations and habitats are being maintained by the MSCP preserve as expected. The purpose of this document is to provide protocols that the agencies and jurisdictions can apply to Risk Group 1 species (SDSU 2006) they share in common across the preserve. The intent is to begin collecting a unified and cohesive data set.
