Overview
Effectiveness monitoring builds on a diverse range of monitoring activities and grants to help assess how well conservation and restoration efforts are working. By supporting monitoring efforts, OWEB and partners are able to:
- Document current watershed conditions
- Improve the understanding of watershed health
- Track changes in critical habits and species over time
- Measure the success of watershed improvement projects
- Inform and prioritize future restoration efforts
