Through collaboration with the Gulf States, federal and local partners, academia, non-governmental/non-profit organizations, and industry, the program will use a Council Monitoring and Assessment Workgroup and a Monitoring Community of Practice to leverage existing resources, capacities, and expertise and build on existing programs. These existing monitoring activities will be coordinated into a network of programs to provide efficiency in monitoring and collaborative cross-program review of performance with other Gulf ecosystem recovery efforts. The first phase will focus on water quality and habitat mapping. Specific tasks include:"

Each Council-funded project will perform site-specific monitoring. Established monitoring and assessment protocols and standards for each project are needed to effectively aggregate and analyze project-specific results. By establishing protocols and standards in coordination with other entities funding restoration and/or conducting monitoring on the Gulf Coast, the Council will be better suited to evaluate progress towards comprehensive ecosystem restoration and leverage ongoing monitoring efforts."
