Monitoring

Monitoring is the process of observing and keeping records of change in something over time. Photopoint monitoring is a simple, yet effective method used to record physical changes at a given location over time. It involves the repeat photography of a fixed area of interest from a fixed ‘photopoint’ at time intervals. Photopoint monitoring can be used to track short term changes, such as when demonstrating work undertaken or the impacts of an extreme event. It is also used to track long term changes resulting from management actions or changes in the environmental conditions.
