Obligations of the Implementing Entity. The Permittees collectively are ultimately responsible for compliance with all applicable terms and conditions of the Permits. The Implementing Entity will have primary responsibility for implementing the BRCP on behalf of the other Permittees. The Implementing Entity may delegate the implementation of specific actions to other Parties or qualified third parties, including but not limited to public agencies, private conservation organizations, university scientists, and contractors, but the Implementing Entity itself will remain responsible for ensuring overall implementation of the BRCP on behalf of the other Permittees in accordance with the Permits. As further described in BRCP Chapter 9, the Implementing Entity’s responsibilities generally include, but are not necessarily limited to, implementation and management of all of the following elements of the BRCP: • administration of the BRCP, including staffing, and providing necessary scientific, legal, and financial expertise and consulting services; • oversight of compliance with the Permits; • creation of the BRCP Conservation Lands System; • management of BRCP Conservation Lands System; • monitoring, adaptive management and changed circumstances; • funding; and • information management.
