Provisions for the set-up phase Sample Clauses

Provisions for the set-up phase. Management alternatives: Adaptive decision-making requires the clear identification of a set of potential alternatives from which to select an action at each decision point. Some actions might affect the resource directly; others might have indirect effects. Learning and decision-making both depend on our ability to recognize differences in the consequences of different actions, which in turn offers the possibility of comparing and contrasting them in order to choose the best action. Predictive models: Models play a critical role in adaptive management, as expressions of our understanding of the resource, as engines of ecological inference, and as indicators of the benefits, costs, and consequences of alternative management strategies. Importantly, they can represent uncertainty about the resource system. Models are used to characterize resource changes over time, as the resource responds to fluctuating environmental conditions and management actions. Where data allow, predictive models may be complex, but in situations where data are more fragmentary models may simply be conceptual and reflecting professional judgment. Monitoring protocols: Monitoring provides the information needed for both learning and evaluation of management effectiveness. The value of monitoring in adaptive management is inherited from its contribution to decision-making. To make monitoring useful, choices of what ecological and socio-economic variables to monitor and how to monitor them (frequency, extent, intensity, etc.), must be linked closely to the management situation, objectives and targets that motivate the monitoring in the first place, as well as practical limits on staff and funding. While monitoring the ecological sustainability has been an integral part of the development of the adaptive management approach, monitoring the effect of decision-making on social and economic sustainability is also an important part of the process to ensure that decisions can be successfully implemented and are socially acceptable.
