The workshop brought together environmental managers, scientists, and NGO’s to develop a strategy for an ecologically driven regional program and to identify monitoring and research gaps to support the region’s pressing management needs. Discussions focused on nutrient over-enrichment, habitat loss, restoration, and toxic contaminants to address how the monitoring network might be organized; define challenges and benefits of a coordinated regional monitoring network; and how these efforts could be effective in resolving regional environmental issues. The workshop addressed information on ongoing monitoring, regional concerns, and questions that should be answered by a coordinated effort. The conveners developed a follow-up plan to further develop the program, obtain seed money,
