Aquatic Resource Monitoring Programs
Many Federal and State agencies, including Tribal Governments, conduct aquatic resource survey and monitoring programs. Some of these programs have adopted, are evaluating or considering the use of probability designs and linkages to the approaches developed by ORD's EMAP. The Aquatic Monitoring Design & Analysis Team is contributing to and collaborating with many of these programs.
