Description:This whitepaper describes the approach used to develop quantitative indicators of environmental State in the coastal marine ecosystems of South Florida. The MARES project is developing a suite of indicators that provides an integrated assessment of the South Florida coastal marine ecosystem. One of the main objectives of the MARES project is to develop a report card on the status of the coastal marine ecosystem of South Florida. Identifying a set of ecosystem indicators is a necessary step toward this objective. Two types of ecosystem indicators are being developed. State indicators, which are the subject of this report, measure the condition of the environmental components of the ecosystem. Human dimensions are the second type of indicators, and these will be covered in a separate report.
