    Lineage This project created a structured framework to evaluate biological and socioeconomic ecosystem indicators collected by existing monitoring programs, assessed their strengths and weaknesses, and provided recommendations for a set of scientific, practical, and cost-effective indicators for five key habitats; coral, mangrove, oyster, saltmarsh and seagrass. Two workshops were held for each key habitat. Workshop participants had expertise about key habitat types and the researchers solicited feedback from these experts to confirm selected indicators were valid and to establish condition ranges. The investigators cataloged indicators found in existing inventory and monitoring programs; developed conceptual ecological models to help managers understand critical ecosystem functions and stressors that affect ecosystem condition; and identified key ecosystem services provided by the key habitats and associated indicators of their sustainability.
