This simple framework is used to analyse two monitoring theme case studies; national ecosystem health monitoring, and regional fish stock monitoring.
Within a monitoring theme, essential components for effective monitoring are governance, strategy and work plan, sampling protocols, quality assurance, and data and assessment structures.
We stay with a monitoring theme in the following report.
Such essential component analyses, within marine monitoring themes, can help improve monitoring implementation by identifying gaps and overlaps.
Once monitoring themes are recognised, explicitly defined and streamlined, travel towards integrated monitoring may be made easier as the current lack of clarity in thematic marine monitoring implementation is one barrier to integration at both national and regional scales.
Marine monitoring in the northeast Atlantic is delivered within identifiable monitoring themes, established through time and defined by the geographical area and policy drivers they serve, the sampling methodologies they use, their assessment methodologies, their funding and governance structures and the people or organisations involved in their implementation.
This exploratory study indicates that the two research areas represented by the document corpora on citizen science and forest monitoring exhibit shared topics, but that promising opportunities to utilise citizen science for key forest monitoring themes still lie dormant.
This was true for both the science-monitoring and the regulatory-monitoring themes.
The purpose of CFPS is to monitor broad themes in social change including population, economy, health, family, and communities in contemporary China.
Four studies 20262730310 31 with five publications described the 'Monitoring implementation' theme.
Within the group that did not provide evidence of monitoring, an important theme emerged.
