AGENCY AND COMMUNICATION TEAMS
A team of agency representatives and a team of communication and outreach experts will help delineate how each scenario should be described and help us identify what we need to know about each scenario to be useful in decision making. The role of both teams includes launching the scenario development process by being the first to explore how each scenario should look and ending the scenario development process by helping with translating the technical descriptions into language and design accessible to the planners and managers.

Agency Team
Role: A team of agency representative will delineate critical elements to include in the scenario development in order to ensure their usability.

METRICS & ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND MODELING TEAMS
A team of experts in metrics and a team of modeling experts will help transform the scenarios into an assessment of nearshore ecosystem health. Their role within the scenario development process is to refine what material is included within each scenario and how the material is conveyed.

Metrics and Ecosystem Health Team
Role: A team in charge of selecting metrics that can help assess a variety of indicators of nearshore ecosystem health. The list of metrics will be constrained by metrics that are correlated to essential nearshore functions, are sensitive to differences between the scenarios and potential restoration portfolios, and that we have the capacity to measure.

DRIVING FORCES TEAMS
Ten separate expert teams will represent each of the ten key driving forces previously identified.
LEADING TEAMS
Within the ten driving forces teams, the teams of 'climate change' and 'human perceptions and behavior' have a leading role since these two variables have been identified as the most uncertain and important driving forces by the preceding workshop. These two teams will meet together to draw up the initial hypotheses on the potential trajectories under each scenario, explore what information we need and can gather to assess the hypothesized trajectories, and develop narratives to describe the initial scenario storylines. At the end of the process these two teams will refine the final scenarios based on input from the supporting teams.

Climate Change Team
Role: A focus on potential projections of future climate impacts, especially as they pertain to changes in the hydrological regime of this region.
