# Time

The time needed to conduct a monitoring project is influenced by:

## Time to plan project

- Available existing data, knowledge and skills

## Time needed to conduct field work

- Area characteristics:
- Land or water;
- soft or hard bottom;
- roughness;
- steepness;
- remoteness and extent
- the accessibility (e.g. rough mountains with no roads, reefs with tidal differences);
- distance from bases with facilities to study site (e.g. town to outback savannah land, boat base to reef);
- extent of area (e.g. small park or complete state, part of a single reef or reef system).
- Available existing data, knowledge and skills

## Time needed for processing

- available hard and software
- experience of analysis to analyse field and image data
- processing knowledge and skills
