 The
National Environmental Monitoring Initiative is an initiative in progress
– one that is bringing together environmental
monitoring and research organizations from across the United States.
It links large-scale survey information and remote sensing with ecological
process research at a network of multi-resource, intensive monitoring areas.
The result will be greater understanding of what controls ecosystem health
at the regional scale, where resource management decisions are made.
Objective:
To integrate and coordinate environmental monitoring and related research
through government and private-sector collaboration, in order to enhance
the utility of existing networks and programs.
Development of the National Environmental Monitoring Initiative is under
the leadership of the Committee on the Environment and Natural Resources,
in the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy.
