TOPIC DESCRIPTION
Understanding long-term ecological recovery following oil spills informs decisions from response to restoration.
What monitoring methods/endpoints are able to cost-, time-, and ecologically-effectively capture environmental
services that track natural resource services flowing from impacted habitats? Several questions will be addressed.
What ecological factors affect recovery rates? What ecological ‘metrics’ can be applied using common assessment
tools (e.g., Habitat Equivalency Analysis) that will help resource managers develop restoration projects that
best compensate for lost resources?
