CRAM is a method for rapidly assessing the condition ofCaliforniawetlands. For the past several years, a consortium of scientists has been working under grants from the US Environmental Protection Agency to develop this tool, which is applicable to all wetland types in the state. CRAM can be used in any context where knowledge about wetland condition improves decision-making, including but not limited to: assessing ambient condition, assessing cumulative impacts at the watershed scale, assisting with locating the best sites for restoration, and monitoring and reporting on the outcome of restoration projects.
This course is intended for agency staff, consultants, and other practitioners and has the following objectives:
1. Provide an understanding of the conceptual structure and approach of CRAM,
2. Provide hands-on experience with CRAM in the office and field, including the use of eCRAM and attendant quality assurance procedures,
3. Build capacity for the use of CRAM by providing a solid technical grounding in the method so that practitioners can reliably perform CRAM for riverine wetlands, and
4. Provide an understanding of the application of CRAM for project and regulatory applications.
