Ecosystem Research and Monitoring

---

The Research and Monitoring Program aims to assess ecosystem health, generate scientific information, form strategies, and measure management effectiveness. Regular, long-term monitoring is crucial due to the marine environment's complexity and variability, providing insights into ecosystem changes and informing science-based policymaking. 

The Tubbataha Management Office (TMO) promotes collaboration for such research, adhering to TRNP policies and including park representatives.
