Evaluation and Adaptive Management Sample Clauses

Evaluation and Adaptive Management. [Describe how the monitoring efforts will be evaluated using an adaptive management approach. Adaptive management relies on an iterative cycle of monitoring, assessment, and decision making to clarify the relationships among the conservation measures and the response of habitat and, ultimately, the covered species abundance. The results of monitoring efforts should be considered from an adaptive management perspective. An adaptive, outcome-based approach may be used when limited management information for a particular species is available to allow conservation measures to be updated based on changing conditions or new information. The consequences of prescriptive conservation measures cannot be predicted with certainty. The SHA provides a framework for making objective decisions in the face of uncertainty. If the expected results are not achieved, the conservation measure can either be modified or an alternative measure undertaken in order to achieve the expected results.]

Evaluation and Adaptive Management. The Property Owners, CDFW, and the Service will meet in person each year after the annual report has been submitted and reviewed. During the meeting the parties will evaluate the implementation of the SHA as described above and determine if modifications to the agreement are necessary. The evaluation will include review of the previous year’s grazing operations and timber harvesting activities (if conducted), application of the conservation measures, and impacts to Covered Species. Elements of the SHA that may warrant adaptive management based on changed conditions or new information include, but are not limited to:

Related to Evaluation and Adaptive Management

  • Adaptive Management ‌ This CCAA is based on the principles of Adaptive Management set out in 65 Fed. Reg. at 35,242. The adaptive management process is a structured approach for dealing with uncertainty. The adaptive management process develops hypotheses regarding uncertainty and research to test those hypotheses in an iterative process to develop effective strategies for minimizing the uncertainty. The signatories to this CCAA agree and recognize that implementation of the Conservation Strategy objectives and criteria, Conservation Measures and Actions, and the Covered Area may change as new science emerges. The effectiveness of the Conservation Strategy objectives and criteria, Conservation Measures, Conservation Actions, monitoring methods, and new technologies will be reviewed by the Administrator on an annual basis, with input from the Adaptive Management Committee. The Adaptive Management Committee will be responsible for reviewing and evaluating the effectiveness of Conservation Program under the 2020 DSL CCAA as described in Sections 2.0 and 16.1, including the effectiveness and implementation of the Conservation Strategy, Conservation Measures and Conservation Actions; setting priorities for DSL Habitat conservation and monitoring habitat loss; and recommending changes to any aspect of the Conservation Program based on new science. As a result, appropriate modifications to the Conservation Measures and Actions may be incorporated to further refine the goals and objectives of this 2020 DSL CCAA. Such modifications are incorporated into existing CIs, if they were identified in changed circumstances in the 2020 DSL CCAA. Modifications not related to changed circumstances identified in the 2020 DSL CCAA and instead related to unforeseen circumstances may be incorporated into new CIs that take effect after the modifications have been made and to existing CIs only with written consent from the Participants and Service. Additionally, research projects that are designed to determine the effectiveness of management practices will be encouraged and utilized to determine what Adaptive Management is necessary. Changes resulting from Adaptive Management will flow through the Governance structure as described in Section 2.0 of this CCAA.
