Before deciding to begin a monitoring and/or restoration project it is very important for you to describe your study design. Think carefully about the why, what, where, when and how questions, and consider the (QAQC) measures that are necessary to insure accuracy and precision. Your approach should be similar to the scientific method. The questions you ask, the methods you choose, and the way the data is analyzed and checked should be written into your study design. Your monitoring is much more likely to be successful and sustainable with the right plan. Click-here to learn more about quality assurance project plans.
