The Mediterranean Coast Network is one of 32 National Park Service Inventory & Monitoring (I&M) Networks across the country. A multi-level organizational structure ensures the accountability and efficiency of the network. It is responsible to a Board of Directors and Technical Committee composed of park superintendents and staff who participate on a rotational basis. Program guidance and oversight is provided by the Inventory and Monitoring Division of the National Park Service's Washington Office.
The network consists of two permanent National Park Service personnel that work closely with park staff at Mediterranean Coast Network parks.
