The Deepwater Horizon Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group has approved seven new Monitoring and Adaptive Management Activities Implementation Plans (MAIPs). Five will center on data collection.
All of the activities address needs that were identified in the Louisiana Trustees’ Monitoring and Adaptive Monitoring (MAM) Strategy, published in 2021.
The goal of monitoring and adaptive management is to maximize benefits to the natural resources targeted for restoration, and report on the outcomes of restoration actions.
Budget for the seven activities totals $36.5M over the next three-to-six years, depending on the activity duration.
The seven new activities include:
