The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP), established in 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is a federal project designed to create a continually updated survey of ecological resources in the United States. This comprehensive list monitors and links resource data from several U.S. agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Research from the program is intended to illustrate changes in specific ecosystems in the U.S. and to determine if those changes could have resulted from "human-induced stress."
