Any future monitoring st<strong>at</strong>ions or sites th<strong>at</strong> may be established should be used consistentlyunless unanticip<strong>at</strong>ed events, new land uses, or access issues prevent continued use. Whennecessary, changes in the loc<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> monitoring st<strong>at</strong>ions should be documented and sp<strong>at</strong>iallyloc<strong>at</strong>ed within the American Samoa GIS. PPC has provided digital files for the Wetland andStream Restor<strong>at</strong>ion and Enhancement Plan th<strong>at</strong> provide a departure point for loc<strong>at</strong>ing futureresource monitoring st<strong>at</strong>ions within the wetland.All photographs should be incorpor<strong>at</strong>ed into the digital photo album developed by PPC inconjunction with the Wetland/Stream Restor<strong>at</strong>ion and Enhancement Plan. This will enable along-term comparison <strong>of</strong> resource inform<strong>at</strong>ion.Site MaintenancePeriodic site maintenance should take place within the Fusi wetland two times per year. It isrecommended th<strong>at</strong> maintenance take place immedi<strong>at</strong>ely following the resource monitoringactivities to reduce the amount <strong>of</strong> air travel to the site. However, local residents could likely behired to accomplish long-term site maintenance to elimin<strong>at</strong>e the need to transport amaintenance crew from Tutuila.The collection <strong>of</strong> solid wastes within the wetland is expected to represent the primary focus <strong>of</strong>long-term site maintenance. A crew <strong>of</strong> two persons will be necessary to walk through the Fusiwetland for periodic, long-term maintenance. The use <strong>of</strong> garbage bags and machetes will beneeded to support these activities.American Samoa Wetlands/Streams Restor<strong>at</strong>ion and Enhancement PlanFebruary 2001, Fusi Wetland, Page 11-14
