How can we develop integrated monitoring frameworks that capture progress
toward nature-positive goals across multiple scales?

Background

Effective management of Scotland's marine and freshwater environments requires robust,
timely, and accessible data and evidence. This research area focuses on developing and
implementing new approaches for monitoring, data collection, analysis, and curation and
sharing to support evidence-based decision-making and adaptive management.
