Abstract
Monitoring has one single important function: to provide information to enable an evaluation of the project as it is developing. Monitoring data should evoke some type of response, even if it is a “do nothing” response. This response will be an informed one and, ideally, one reached by considering all of the various factors affecting your project. Making intelligent decisions concerning any action on a restoration project requires a sound monitoring report.
