Book Description
"This project evaluated coastal construction monitoring of projects occurring primarily within the past ten years in the four county southeast Florida region for their ability to detect impact. Based on this evaluation, recommendations were developed for future monitoring of permitted coastal construction and mitigation activities to improve their ability to detect project related impact and to determine if mitigation is meeting its intended goals. The purpose of these recommendations is to ensure that monitoring at an individual project level is designed to be scientifically sound and relevant to resource management. Additionally, recommendations for standardized monitoring protocols are suggested for the purpose of improving the ability to compare results among projects which will aid in the holistic management of the region"--Introduction.
