Monitoring

Monitoring is a means of measuring performance and demonstrating due diligence. Regulators often require companies to implement monitoring programs to ensure that risk management procedures are working effectively.

There are several types of biophysical monitoring. These include:

• Baseline monitoring to establish pre-impact state;
• On-going monitoring to determine effectiveness of management procedures; and
• Monitoring to measure success rates of rehabilitation.
