NC1190 Annual Report  2012  2013 Project Activity Number: NC1190 Project Title: Catalysts for Water Resources Protection and Restoration: Applied Social Science Research Period Covered: June 2012  May 2013 Date of this Report: July 5th, 2013. Annual Meeting Dates: June 2  4 2013 Attendees: Richard H. Moore, Shohei Arisaka, Jennifer Harrison, Mark Burbach, Linda Prokopy, Nate Mullendore, Nick Babin , Lois Wright-Morton, Joe Colletti, Jamie Benning, Jean McGuire, Ken Genskow, Eric Kaufman, Rachael Kennedy Summary of 2013 June annual meeting: The 2013 Annual meeting was held at Stone Lab on Gibraltar Island, Lake Erie, in Ohio. Dr. Joe Colletti, NC1190 academic advisor alerted the team of our upcoming 3rd year review due in Dec 2013 and listed the evaluation criteria: all annual notes posted in NIMSS, impact statement updated and refined; external funding and leveraged dollars and other resources, and active integration among members occurring in support of achieving stated objectives. An annual report template (see appendix) was created for all NC1190 members to submit their progress reports to Kristin Floress and Lois Wright Morton by Jun3 30th for aggregation into the team 2013 report. Team members present at the annual meeting reviewed progress on current research and joint work undertaken among NC1190 members; toured Lake Erie by boat and learned about tools and instruments used to measure water characteristics and hypoxic conditions; and developed more detail to the teams matrix of the role of catalysts and outcomes for water resource protection and restoration. Next years officers were elected and the date and location of the 2014 meeting were set. Election of Officers a. Richard Moore, Chair; Kristin Floress, Vice-chair; Carmen Agouridis, Secretary; Linda Prokopy, Secretary-elect Next Meeting Date and Location b. The next meeting will be held in Sheyboygan, Wisconsin at the Blue Harbor Resort from June 3- June 4 2014. Participants will likely fly into Milwaukee on Monday, June 2nd.

A summary of the 20112-2013 activities and accomplishments follow: Project accomplishments to date by all members (including those unable to attend the 2013 annual meeting) Jointly conducted work and integration of research efforts. The five objectives of this multi-state project are not stand-alone goals but feed into each other in iterative ways. The typologies of catalysts (obj 1; obj 3) are precursor to determining mechanisms (obj 2), synthesizing the theoretical frameworks and analyzing data (obj 4) in order to develop and evaluate adaptive strategies to activate (obj 5) mechanisms discovered (obj 2). Thus, although different groups of team members are focusing on different aspects of catalysts for water resource protection and restoration, the team is highly cognizant and purposeful in connecting each others research findings so as to inform, ongoing and future efforts. Three key sub-research clusters illustrate the integration of theory, data, co-learning, and products created among team members that has occurred over the first few years of this new project: water-related leadership; disproportionality; and roles of catalysts and outcomes. Water-related leadership.(Burbach, Floress, Kaufman co-leads; Kennedy) Investigation to determine if water-related leadership development programs are theory based; if they provide assessment, challenge, and support; and if they are long-term. Preliminary data analysis reveals 31 programs advertised as natural resources or water leadership development programs. Of these, 13 were theory based, 7 included assessment and 8 challenge/support using the McCauley et al (2010) model of leadership development. Disproportionality (Genskow, lead; Moore, Ribaldo, Gasteyer, Prokopy, Morton, McGuire, Braiser). Plans are in progress to develop a disproportionality scoping paper. Group discussions included common research interests, applied research opportunities and challenges related to targeting watershed management activities. A March 2011 policy memo from USEPA Assistant Director Nancy Stoner outlined expectations for states to develop statewide nutrient reduction strategies based on targeted and prioritized watershed areas. That catalyst memo reinforces related activities by conservation and agricultural interests (such as an emphasis on the 4Rs  right source, right rate, right place, at the right time). Conference call May 22nd further developed research questions and web site [ Nutrient Targeting Orientation: A project of NC1190 Disproportionality Working Group Website address: http://erc.cals.wisc.edu/targetingprimer/ ] The site is organized around 4 main areas, and currently intended as an orientation to the concepts of this workgroup for resource and conservation managers. Four main Areas so far: 1) What is Targeting? (general definition, critical source areas, disproportionality, benefit asymmetry farmers don't see benefit to themselves; social pressure); 2) Management Frameworks (general definition; watershed planning; adaptive management; performance based management; 3) Data Acquisition for Targeting how to put target in practice? (quantitative watershed data, data inventory methods and resources) 4) Watershed Models (each element has sublinks, overview, BASINS, SWAT, HSPF, Academic resources) . Research questions include: 1) how to deploy this information to be a catalyst event? Data sets what we know, have learned? How to turn it into catalyst? The culumination is objective 5 using the website to pull it together. 2) how does the use the language of disproportionality influence desired actions? 3) how is disproportionality a driver of actions? We often see the consequences of action but what are the factors driving change? 4) how does resistance to the idea of targeting affect water resource management? (how does institutional resistance to targeting per se and relationship to voluntary v mandatory influence farmer actions? 5) What are counter agents that neutralize catalysts, inhibitors? Roles of catalysts and outcomes (Prokopy, Braiser, Floress co-leads; Babin, Morton, Moore, Kaufman, McGuire, Genskow, Burbach, Mullendore, Benning, Kennedy). Conceptual development of catalysts leading to the formation of watershed groups has been the initial focus of this group. A literature review and journal article was submitted in 2012 (under review) focused on a matrix of catalytic events triggering watershed group formation. The role of catalysts was further developed by NC 1190 members present at the 2013 annual meeting. As a result, a draft matrix of catalysts and outcomes beyond watershed group formation was developed along with several figures to illustrate pathways and relationships. Two key areas of the matrix are: 1) types of catalysts that contribute to change with a focus on one or multiple event that converge to create change ie a bioaccumulation of events; and 2)characteristics of outcomes of catalysts. The team goal is to further develop these ideas into a paper. Babin will further develop the figure in early August 2013 for group webinar discussion. The goal of the webinar (August 21st 9am Ct/10AM EST) Purdue adobe connect) will be to 1) refine literature 2) further develop definitions and 3) outline a paper lead by Morton and Babin. The paper will provide a foundation to guide objectives 1-5 in clarifying the meaning of catalysts and characteristic outcomes for water resource protection and restoration.
