MONITORING PLANMonitoring Plan • September 17th, 1998
To provide a comprehensive monitoring program for all Terrebonne Basin barrier island restoration projects, an agreement was reached between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Marine Fisheries Service, and Louisiana Department of Natural Resources to combine monitoring survey budgets to use Scanning Hydrographic Operational Airborne Lidar Survey (SHOALS) technology. The SHOALS methods produce a more comprehensive elevational data set for the entire Terrebonne Basin barrier islands, without increasing the project specific surveying costs.
