Open Ocean Trustees Approve New Monitoring Activity Focused on the Benefits of Coastal Restoration
The Open Ocean Trustees have approved a Monitoring and Adaptive Management (MAM) Activity Implementation Plan for the Coastal Restoration Effects on Inshore, Nearshore, and Offshore Ecological Condition. This MAM activity will use existing monitoring and assessment protocols to develop an approach for evaluating how Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) restoration projects affect the fish and invertebrate species that rely on them (e.g., through improved water quality).
