Monitoring Section

The Monitoring Section is responsible for the management of all monitoring activities. This includes monitoring plan development, monitoring plan implementation (data collection and storage, statistical analysis, quality control and data interpretation), and report generation. These activities provide a scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to coastal wetlands loss in Louisiana. Data collected are used to determine the success or failure of existing projects, to determine if existing projects require modifications, and to support future decisions on selection of proposed coastal restoration projects.
