Oceans and Beaches Sample Clauses

Oceans and Beaches. Ongoing monitoring is essential to assess the health of ocean and coastal ecosystems and detect changes over time.

The region needs a coordinated, comprehensive monitoring network that can provide the information necessary for managers to make informed decisions, adapt their actions as needed, and assure effective stewardship of ocean and coastal resources. In developing such a network, agencies should coordinate and expand their efforts to ensure adequate monitoring in coastal areas and the upland regions that affect them.
