Have you ever wondered what goes on “behind the scenes” at the National Park Service? The Oceans and Coastal Resources Program (housed in the Water Resources Division) just published our annual report for this year. In it, you can read through some of the projects we worked on over the past year, as well as some the team is hoping to take on next year. Note: most of the links are internal to the NPS, so you will need a DOI account to access them. However, the main report and the five StoryMaps embedded within it are fully public, so anyone can interact with those! Access the report at this link:

Pyrodiversity for biodiversity. Fire, when stewarded, respectfully acknowledged, and danced with, is one of our best tools as Land Stewards to transform and heal massive landscapes. The regenerative properties and partnerships between fire, the soil microbiome, the seed stocks, the carbon and water cycle, plant and wildlife communities are astonishing if allowed on the ground. Fire has always been a key characteristic of bioregional health until the advent of industrial colonial forestry practices. No other element so strongly evokes the anthropocentric urge to control, contain, and vilinize. And yet it has always lit the way to the next chapter of social evolution.
