Marine Biology
Biological monitoring is the systematic assessment of living organisms and their responses to environmental changes, often used to evaluate ecosystem health and the effectiveness of conservation efforts. This approach can involve tracking species populations, biodiversity levels, and the presence of certain indicators that reflect environmental conditions. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that marine protected areas (MPAs) are meeting their management objectives and adapting to any potential threats.
