  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;This document is the first of three standard operating procedures (SOPs) providing instructions and considerations for conducting mobile acoustic surveys along road transects to collect bat acoustic data following the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) protocol and sample design. This SOP focuses specifically on selecting NABat grid cells and establishing mobile transect survey routes using online tools available through the NABat Partner Portal. Intended audiences for this document include those in charge of facilitating surveys within their region (for example, State or provincial managers, and NABat regional hub coordinators), and project leaders or survey coordinators responsible for setting up and organizing NABat mobile transect monitoring for their organization or area.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
