- Planning &Project Initiation
- Design
- Step 1: Develop Management Objectives
- Step 2: Set Study Area and Monitoring Objectives
- Step 3: Select criteria for stratifying the study area (if necessary)
- Step 4: Select and document supplemental monitoring methods; estimate sample sizes; set sampling frequency; develop implementation rules
- Step 5: Collect and evaluate available data to determine sampling sufficiency and the validity of the strata (if available)
- Step 6: Apply Stratification and Select Monitoring Locations
- Step 7: Data Management Plans

Project Area and Sample Frame Example
[Some theoretical description of project area and sample frame; how they differ]
[Project area example. If Taos, then project area is National Monument but the sample frame excludes mountains and gorge for safety reasons and because they’re irrelevant]
[Show map of project area with sample frame within it]
