Pressure-St

a te-Ecosystem Services-Response (DPSER) Framework (detailed below). The first stems from

the generic structure of an ecosystem, and is used as the logic framework for the reports, while the second

defines the structure of the condition reports themselves. Although the National Marine Sanctuary System's 13 sanctuaries and two marine national monuments are di verse in many ways, including size, location, and resources, condition reports allow ONMS to

consistently analyze the status and trends of the abiotic and biotic factors in each ecosystem for purposes

of informing place-based management. To that end, each sanctuary is asked to answer the same set of

questions, located in Appendix A, in the preparation of each condition report. Additional details about

how the condition report process has evolved overtime are below.
