Progress Tracking

Progress Tracking

Monitoring represents a critical component of an adaptive management cycle. For the 2016 Estuary Blueprint, our monitoring approach includes two primary components: 1) linking environmental outcomes in the Estuary Blueprint to the State of the Estuary Report, and 2) linking programmatic success, or outputs, through implementation of tasks with clear milestones distributed throughout the five-year implementation horizon of the Estuary Blueprint.
