Ecosystem MonitoringAssessing “Vital Signs”
• Water
• temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, depth
• Weather
• Nutrients / Chlorophyll a
• Topography / Bathymetry
• Surface Elevation Tables (SETs)
• Soil Properties (e.g., salinity)
• Vegetation
• Fish and Invertebrates
• Birds

Long-term monitoring
• Track short-term variability / long-term change
• Act as early warning system
• Gauge ecosystem responses to management action (or inaction)
• Parameterize models
• Provide background data for projects
• Stimulate new research ideas
