Adaptive Management is a kind of effort that integrates Research and Monitoring with on the ground Protection and Restoration by viewing ecosystem work as an ongoing Education process. It has been endlessly promoted by the scientific community, but rarely implemented. Funding systems rarely support adaptive management. The acknowledgement of uncertainty is not encouraged by many Socioeconomic feedback mechanisms. Regulations may integrate management triggers into Mitigation systems, but often for managing performance rather than intentional learning.
Notes
- Boevers 2008 considers the challenges of implementing adaptive management in large scale ecosystem restoration efforts, in the context of PSNERP.
- Williams et al 2009 describes the guidance of the US Department of the Interior Adaptive Management Working Group.
- Cereghino 2021 delta adaptive management draft (2010-13) aimed to establish adaptive management for River Delta Restoration and the Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program's Learning Program and portfolio process comes close to integrating learning into on-the-ground efforts.
