project-level monitoring can improve restoration These sites could be selected as dynamic "target effectiveness. However, assessing progress toward reference sites" that have limited negative impacts restoration program goals may require monitoring from human activity (see Chapter 3)

Similarly, as further discussed below, cumulative effects from a variety of restoration such long-term monitoring sites could become projects on mobile living resources, therefore, the location for ecological research that could requires special consideration. In particular, such improve the understanding of key knowledge monitoring efforts will need to consider uncertainties (see also Chapter 1)

We also stress the need approach to monitoring marine mammals, sea for efforts focused specifically on monitoring turtles, birds, and fish in the Gulf of Mexico.

: as high scientific uncertainty associated with a conceptual model, novel restoration technique, • Restoration in the Gulf has and will occur large restoration scale, extensive potential across a grand geographic scale through socioeconomic consequences, or long-term individual projects, and the degree to which restoration. When projects are undertaken with restoration activities affect species and habitats some of these high-risk factors involved, beyond the project footprint and the extent to monitoring for adaptive management may be which multiple nearby projects interact remain needed (see Chapter 7 for further discussion)
