The Adaptive Assessment Team will be responsible for five primary tasks of RECOVER. These tasks are to:

Create, refine and provide documentation for a set of conceptual ecological models for the total system and for each of the major physiographic regions of South Florida Create and refine a set of attribute-based biological performance measures for the Comprehensive Plan   Design and review the system-wide monitoring and data management program needed to support the Comprehensive Plan   Use the information coming from the system-wide monitoring program to assess actual system responses as components of   the Comprehensive Plan are implemented and produce an annual assessment report describing and interpreting these responses   Coordinate all scientific peer reviews of RECOVER documents.  The Adaptive Assessment Team will be a standing interagency,  interdisciplinary team of south Florida scientists and resource specialists.
