The model and the supporting questions were used by the committee in conducting its case studies of marine environmental monitoring. INSTITUTIONAL SETTING Each case study examined how institutional conditions in the case study area have affected the design and conduct of the monitoring studies conducted there.

What can be done to increase public appreciation of the prospects and limitations of marine environmental monitoring? NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Each case study evaluated the degree to which the physical and biological properties and processes of the study area were considered in the initial program conception and design.

· To what extent were the monitoring programs designed to test hypotheses? · How do monitoring objectives and strategies differ among different monitoring applications (e.g., point source versus regional, continuous versus pulse effects, etc.~?

From page 114... ...
Were objective procedures followed in going from the monitoring program designed to that which was implemented? How did the cost and time limitations affect the implementation of the design program, and how did any effects influence statistical confidence?

· What mechanisms exist or could be created for timely and effective transfer of data to products for decision-makers' needs? DECISION MAKING Although the primary focus of the systems assessment of marine environmental monitoring in each study area was on technical issues, it was also necessary to consider the use of the monitoring results in subsequent management decisions.

From page 116... ...
· Were the results of enviromental monitoring programs integrated functionally in decision making with other environmental assessment approaches (i.e., assessments based on existing information, predictive and conceptual environmental models, experimental approaches, and observations and measurements of environmental processes)
