Sample Projects
Management System Design
We developed a multi-agency Adaptive Management System to improve the effectiveness of the resource management actions within the Tahoe Basin. The Adaptive Management System includes elements of both Continual Improvement and Adaptive Management. It structures communication between agency policymakers and researchers to identify areas of uncertainty and systematically incorporate scientific findings into management decisions. The system design analysis includes the development of a Generalized Management System Design Manual to be used as a template for developing program-specific management systems. The project also analyzed how the generalized system could be applied to three important programs:
Pathway Indicator Monitoring Strategy & Reporting Strategy
The resource management agencies within the Lake Tahoe Basin determined some 34 Basin-wide environmental and social Desired Conditions to achieve through resource management and community planning. We defined an indicator hierarchy that could be used to organize monitoring efforts and report findings, as well as an indicator reporting system that would enable the agencies to provide meaningful information to public, policy making and scientific audiences. We also developed a database of indicator monitoring resource needs and determined that prioritization of indicator monitoring efforts is necessary for the Pathway agencies to gain the greatest value for the resources invested. |
