Environmental report cards synthesize and communicate large amounts of data to a broad audience. They can be used as a way to catalyze improvements in ecosystem health, guide restoration efforts, resolve transboundary differences, develop new environmental insights, create new indicators and metrics, justify monitoring efforts, accelerate data analyses, and stimulate relevant research.
