The information in the AMS, along with the comments received during the public scoping period (March 1, 2015-April 2, 2015), provides a foundation for subsequent steps in the planning process, including the development of management alternatives for the draft resource management plan and the analysis of the environmental effects of these alternatives. The AMS summarizes how the BLM is currently managing the San Juan Islands National Monument, provides an overview of existing conditions and trends in the planning area, and identifies potential management opportunities the BLM will explore through the planning process. The BLM appreciates the participation of its partners and the public in this planning effort. In March 2015 we held public meetings and a comment period to kick off the planning effort (the results of which are summarized here: www.blm.gov/or/plans/sanjuanislandsnm/scopingrep.php). In January 2016 we held additional public workshops to gather geographically-specific input on human uses in the national monument. Stay tuned for more opportunities to participate in the process. Sincerely, Linda Clark District Manager 3 1. Introduction The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Spokane District Office is currently developing a resource management plan (RMP) for the San Juan Islands National Monument. The BLM will work closely with its many partners and the public during the planning process. This RMP will provide the overarching objectives and direction for the BLM- administered lands in the San Juan Islands. The BLM will consider the impacts of the RMP on the greater San Juan Islands landscape, but the decisions made through the planning effort will only apply to lands and activities administered by the BLM. 1.1 What is an Analysis of the Management Situation? The analysis of the management situation (AMS) is a summary document that describes the condition and trends of resources and uses within the decision area, provides a snapshot of how the BLM is currently managing those resources, and identifies management opportunities the BLM will explore through the planning effort. Because it is only intended to provide a snapshot of resources and management opportunities, the AMS does not provide the level of detail, background information, references, or definitions that will be included in the draft RMP/environmental impact statement (EIS). The data included in this document is preliminary and may be updated or revised in future San Juan Islands National Monument (Monument) RMP planning documents. The BLM will draw upon the AMS as it develops the introduction, affected environment chapter, and no action and action alternatives for the draft RMP/EIS. 1.2 Background on the San Juan Islands National Monument On March 25, 2013, President Obama signed Proclamation 8947 (see Appendix A) designating the Monument. The Monument consists of approximately 1,000 acres of land scattered across the San Juan Islands, which lie in the heart of the Salish Sea. This acreage includes nearly 700 acres currently under BLM jurisdiction and nearly 300 acres withdrawn

  • Washington Flora Checklist a Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium
    Washington Flora Checklist A checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium The Washington Flora Checklist aims to be a complete list of the native and naturalized vascular plants of Washington State, with current classifications, nomenclature and synonymy. The checklist currently contains 3,929 terminal taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Taxa included in the checklist: * Native taxa whether extant, extirpated, or extinct. * Exotic taxa that are naturalized, escaped from cultivation, or persisting wild. * Waifs (e.g., ballast plants, escaped crop plants) and other scarcely collected exotics. * Interspecific hybrids that are frequent or self-maintaining. * Some unnamed taxa in the process of being described. Family classifications follow APG IV for angiosperms, PPG I (J. Syst. Evol. 54:563?603. 2016.) for pteridophytes, and Christenhusz et al. (Phytotaxa 19:55?70. 2011.) for gymnosperms, with a few exceptions. Nomenclature and synonymy at the rank of genus and below follows the 2nd Edition of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest except where superceded by new information. Accepted names are indicated with blue font; synonyms with black font. Native species and infraspecies are marked with boldface font. Please note: This is a working checklist, continuously updated. Use it at your discretion. Created from the Washington Flora Checklist Database on September 17th, 2018 at 9:47pm PST.
