Research and Monitoring
The aquatic preserve's proximity to major urban centers and several universities as well as
research institutes allows the opportunity for many partnerships, filling in the gaps of information
needed for sound resource management. When a research need is not being met, staff encouraged existing
research programs to address the need or implement their own project to gather the information.
