Programs Research & Monitoring

An essential part of determining actionable and adaptive resource management, relies in a comprehensive understanding of our systems and the interactions with external variables. The SASJBEP has identified a number of gaps in our understanding and is working with partners to fill these gaps and ensure financial resources are strategically invested.

    • Water Quality Report Card
    • Benthic Community Assessment in St. Joseph Bay
    • National Coastal Condition Assessment – increasing sampling locations
    • Sediment (Surface) Contamination Study in St. Joseph Bay
    • Reefense
    • C-STARS: Living Shoreline Monitoring
