A multi‑institution team presented the California Estuary Monitoring Program (EMPA): a modular, function‑based statewide estuary assessment framework with standardized SOPs, a centralized data portal, a sentinel‑site selection method for long‑term trend monitoring, and a pilot eelgrass ecosystem‑function scoring tool developed from 56 beds in the
