• Review and develop watershed condition metrics and assessment protocols for human and natural asset structures and functions that best describe watershed health and benefits in a social-ecological system context. • Evaluate the potential for landscape conservation, recovery, and mitigation management strategies to maintain and improve watershed condition and achieve aquatic ecosystem health targets along a disturbance gradient1. • Build an Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) and Natural and Nature-Based (NNB) decision-support framework for setting watershed condition goals and targets along a gradient that are consistent with user-defined designated use and ecosystem health goals that support desired social-ecological outcomes. • Apply and test the decision-support framework or associated non-monetary socialecological models to quantitatively connect watershed condition management actions to desired water quality targets and aquatic ecosystem health outcomes.
