Common use of Research and Monitoring Clause in Contracts

Research and Monitoring. The United States v. Oregon Parties have agreed to a series of species-specific harvest management regimes described in Part II. Implementing those management regimes requires continuation of essential monitoring activities. Additional research and monitoring is needed to improve the accuracy and precision of management. Important components of a comprehensive research and monitoring program include, but are not limited to, those described below. The Parties agree that maintaining a vigorous research and monitoring program is essential to continued implementation of the harvest regimes as envisioned in this Agreement. The Parties therefore agree to work together to maintain funding for current programs, and seek additional funding that are considered essential to increase certainty in the conservation effectiveness of the harvest strategies contained within this Agreement.
