RECOVER:
Monitoring and Assessment Plan
Part 2: 2006 Assessment Strategy for the 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 - Part 2 December 2006

The MAP, Part 2 – 2006 Assessment Strategy for the MAP, represents an update to the assessment portion of the MAP, Part 1 – Monitoring and Supporting Research (January 2004).

The MAP, Part 2 provides the framework for conducting assessments, establishes the associated processes and needed coordination to support these efforts, and develops the linkages to the CERP Adaptive Management Program. The synthesis, interpretation, and results of the system-wide monitoring and assessment being conducted by RECOVER will confirm or contribute to our understanding of the ecosystem, as well as provide observations and input to CERP program managers regarding overall success of CERP in achieving the intended restoration goals.
