Research and Science
Regional Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (REMAP) Research Projects
(CFDA: 66.512)
Purpose: Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) is a long-term research program designed to statistically monitor the conditions of our Nation's ecological resources.
