About the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP)
The LTRMP is one of two components of the federally mandated Upper Mississippi River Restoration - Environmental Management Program. A cooperative program between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
LTRMP's Mission
The mission of the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program is to support decision makers with the information and understanding needed to maintain the Upper Mississippi River System as a viable multiple-use river ecosystem.
LTRMP's Short Term Goals
The LTRMP short term goals are:
Develop a better understanding of the Upper Mississippi river System and its resource problems.
Monitor resource change.
Develop alternatives to better manage the Upper Mississippi River System.
Provide for proper management of program information.
LTMRP's Background
The LTRMP, the research and monitoring component of EMP, combines environmental monitoring, research, systemic data acquisition, and modeling in an effort to provide a solid scientific foundation upon which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Management Program Coordinating Committee (EMP-CC), and many others to base management actions and develop environmental policy on the Upper Mississippi River System. Data gathering, analysis, and dissemination are all key elements of the LTRMP.
The purpose of the LTRMP web site is to provide scientifically sound information on the UMRS. This is achieved by offering the data and information generated by the LTRMP in a variety of ways - database download tools, graphical interfaces, and reports - to make the LTRMP data more accessible. The LTRMP information is used extensively by natural resource managers, planners, administrators, scientists, academics, legislators, and the general public for improved understanding, problem solving, and informed decision-making about the issues important to the UMRS.
