The process for conducting natural resource damage assessments (NRDAs) is supported by important scientific investigation components. The degree to which science forms the basis of NRD settlements varies by case, but all NRDAs depend to varying extents on scientific studies. While some of these investigation components have been discussed in previous papers and agency guidance, many of the scientific components remain anecdotal and poorly supported. This article presents each of several scientific components as an integrated investigation approach and gives recommendations and examples of the methodological features.
