Effectiveness Monitoring

Effectiveness monitoring addresses the question of how successful a project ultimately is at restoring the ecosystem or component parts. It involves assessing restoration progress in relation to initial objectives, and refining treatment prescriptions, where required, to increase their effectiveness.

​

Monitoring of the riparian restoration began in September 2021 and is ongoing.
