Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP)

The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) is a system used to evaluate the health of our environment. It collects data on air, water, soil, and ecosystems to track changes over time. The goal is to identify trends, assess human impacts, and inform policies for environmental protection. By monitoring key indicators regularly, EMAP helps scientists and policymakers understand the effectiveness of conservation efforts and detect emerging issues early, ensuring the environment remains healthy for current and future generations.
