This document is the completed effort of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wilderness Fellows program to develop a monitoring strategy and evaluate the status of the Prosposed Assateague Wilderness of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, The Assateague Island National Seashore, and the Assateague State Park. The central 6,500 acres of Assateague Island was proposed aswilderness in 1974, but has yet to receive designation. Until such a Congressional decision is made, ASIS and CNWR manage the area to preserve its wilderness character. An evaluation of the current land status will set a 2012 baseline for wilderness character and support a plan for monitoring longterm trends. An interagency team, representing the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service USFWS, National Park Service NPS, U.S. Forest Service USFS, and Bureau of Land Management BLM, developed a guide for wilderness character monitoring. 33 measures were used for the wilderness character monitoring program.
