RECOVER:
Monitoring & Assessment Plan (MAP)
The Monitoring and Assessment Plan (MAP) is the primary tool by which the REstoration COordination and VERification (RECOVER) program will assess the performance of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP).
The scientific and technical information generated from the MAP implementation will be organized to provide a process for RECOVER to evaluate CERP performance and system responses and to produce assessment reports describing and interpreting the responses. The Adaptive Assessment Team of RECOVER has the lead responsibility for developing, implementing, and updating the MAP.
The overarching goal for implementation of the MAP is to have a single, integrated, system-wide monitoring and assessment plan that will be used and supported by all participating agencies and tribal governments as the means of tracking and measuring the performance of the CERP.

Monitoring and Assessment (MAP) Plan
January 2004 |
This document, Part 1 of the MAP, describes in detail the monitoring components and supporting research of the MAP and briefly summarizes the assessment process. A detailed assessment process for interpreting the information collected by the implementation of this plan is under development at this time by the Adaptive Assessment and Water Quality Teams. This process will be documented in Part 2 of the MAP.
As initial monitoring and research efforts facilitate new understandings, modifications to the monitoring components and supporting research of the MAP will be developed as needed and will be documented in the first MAP update and in subsequent updates. As CERP implementation advances and RECOVER evaluates and assesses its performance, the MAP will be further supplemented and refined, and this document will be updated as necessary.
