This session will introduce a new multi-stakeholder “Global NRDA Resources” tool designed to help practitioners navigate natural resource damage assessment and restoration (NRDAR) matters more efficiently. Speakers will demonstrate how the resource organizes guidance materials, data tools, restoration information and process considerations into a practical and searchable framework.
Participants will engage in discussion, explore real-world application of the resource and identify tools and approaches that can support more informed and efficient NRDAR practice. We will then invite a mix of stakeholders to provide extemporaneous comments on how they envision using the new resource and comment on any related issues, concerns or suggestions.
