The Ecological Management Programme Monitoring
Framework provides a framework for assessing
the achievement each of the management
programme’s five objectives. This has been framework designed
to enable periodic monitoring the impacts of the
programme’s implementation, which will in turn inform
the adaptive management of the area, and therefore
ensure that overall benefits from implementation are
maximised, and that any negative impacts are appropriately
mitigated. As shown below, the framework sets
out the desired positive impact of each
programme’s objectives, indicators that the objective has
been successfully achieved, how these
indicators could be measured, and potential sources of the
information required.
