Project Description
This project will conduct comprehensive planning to develop and implement a monitoring and adaptive management (MAM) framework and plan the effective use of the MAM allocation for the Open Ocean Restoration Area. It will evaluate the outcomes of the Open Ocean restoration effort across the portfolio of Open Ocean projects, identify and fill data gaps that affect the Open Ocean TIG’s ability to meet and/or evaluate progress toward restoration goals for Open Ocean resources, and identify the benefits of restoration activities to Open Ocean resources and the ecosystem.
