Inspiration

The impetus for developing this manual began in 2022 when members of the SWAMP Team participated in the inaugural and pilot Water Boards Openscapes Champions Cohort. Since then the team has been developing material and adding to the manual as time and bandwidth allow.

This SWAMP Manual is inspired by many sources, including:

• Openscapes and their Approach Guide
• NOAA Fisheries (NMFS) Open Science Resource Book
• The Fay Lab Manual
