Abstract

<p>In this paper, we propose a vegetation monitoring with the collaboration of citizens and expert at the riverbank of the Tone canal, Chiba, Japan as advanced case study of the biodiversity monitoring. The monitor ing had started since that a citizens’ group cared about the changing method of the vegetation management of the Tone canal riverbank by Edogawa River Office. The leader of the group asked experts advice for vegetation monitoring. The expert held workshop to examining monitoring method, advised in fieldwork, and summarized results. The experts particularly supported technical aspect of each phase to deepen citizen’s understanding. The results of the monitoring were useful and easy to understand. This case study is a role model of the collaborative monitoring, because citizens and experts have collaborated consistently from examining the monitoring design with introducing citizens’ attentive observations for local nature. The deep-rooted collaboration with River Office are needed to develop this case study to ideal adaptive ecosystem management. To enhance and to spread collaborative monitoring, linking the network of the citizens and experts are needed.</p>
