The Monitoring Subcommittee is a body of representatives from around the state that play a role in natural resource monitoring.
The agencies include local, state, and federal agencies and universities. This workgroup meets each fall to compare notes, plan, and coordinate the monitoring and data gathering efforts to occur in the coming year for the purpose of stretching monitoring resources around the state. They coordinate high level objectives and who will sample what, where, and when.
