LONG-TERM MONITORING AND RESEARCH ON THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER SYSTEM: HOW DOES IT INFORM RIVER RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT?
The Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program has been constructing habitat rehabilitation projects and conducting long term research and monitoring on the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) since the late 1980s. The Long Term Resource Monitoring element (LTRM) of this program strives to detect and understand important changes in the river, and inform its restoration and management. Several recent projects have integrated science, restoration, and management expertise. We recently completed an assessment of the spatial gradients in the condition of the UMRS based on systemic landcover and bathymetry data sets, and river managers and restoration specialists used the results to inform a systemic Habitat Needs Assessment. We are conducting an ecological resilience assessment of UMRS to better understand the aspects of the system that contribute to its ecological resilience and the implications for its restoration and management. We have adopted an approach to developing and prioritizing research projects within the program that capitalizes on the diverse knowledge contained within the broad partnership of the UMRR Program (five states and several federal agencies) and emphasizes the connections between our research efforts and restoration and management information needs
