An indicator is a measure of a component or process in an ecosystem that can serve as a proxy for overall condition of the ecosystem. This project evaluated and created a comprehensive inventory of ecosystem indicators that can be used for ecological models and effective management. Ranges of condition for these indicators were also developed. The work resulted in a comprehensive list of indicators and thresholds that managers can use to help with restoration, monitoring, and management efforts. Indicators and distributions for five key habitats linked into the Habitat Indicator Explorer. Managers have access to a validated suite of indicators and condition ranges to assist with monitoring key habitats, identifying ideal locations for restoration, and improving overall management practice. This project was led by NatureServe in partnership with The University of Texas at Austin, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Ocean Conservancy, and The Nature Conservancy. This project was funded by the NOAA RESTORE Science Program under awards NA15NOS4510227 and NA15NOS4510234 to NatureServe. completed NCCOS Scientific Data Coordinator NCCOS.data@noaa.gov Frank Parker, frank.parker@noaa.gov, NOAA RESTORE Science Program pointOfContact NCCOS Scientific Data Coordinator NCCOS.data@noaa.gov custodian https://cdn.coastalscience.noaa.gov/restore/restore_tagbottom.png RESTORE Science Program Logo EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > PLANTS > ANGIOSPERMS (FLOWERING PLANTS) > MONOCOTS > SEAGRASS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > COASTAL > MANGROVE SWAMP EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > COASTAL > SALT MARSH EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > REEF > CORAL REEF EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > REEF > OYSTER REEF theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES > MODELS > DYNAMIC VEGETATION/ECOSYSTEM MODELS service Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Service Keywords 17.0 OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 20.8 NCCOS Sponsored Research > RESTORE Science Program RESTORE Research Data Type > Geospatial RESTORE Research Data Type > Model RESTORE Research Location > Region > Gulf of Mexico theme NCCOS Keywords Gulf of Mexico place DOC/NOAA/NOS/NCCOS > National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

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.
