OWEB is responsible for coordinating monitoring for the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. Oregon Plan monitoring falls into distinct categories that include: baseline, compliance, status and trend, effectiveness, and validation monitoring. Through the complement of different types of monitoring efforts, Oregon is able to document watershed conditions, track changes in critical habitat and species over time, and evaluate the effectiveness of conservation and restoration efforts. This diversity of monitoring approaches is essential to understanding watershed health, tracking the success of projects, and setting restoration priorities.
