<br /> <br />0021.57 <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />Science Advisory Board <br /> <br />The GCDEIS calls for the establishment ofIndependent Review Panel(s) to: (1) ensure <br /> <br />that the long-term monitoring and research program initiated by the GCMRC is unbiased and <br /> <br />objective, scientifically sound, and focused on the most important issues; (2) provide advice on <br /> <br />the coordination and planning of the long-term monitoring and research program; and (3) <br /> <br />annually review the results of the long-term monitoring and research program. <br /> <br />In response to this GCDEIS recommendation, the GCMRC proposes to establish as one <br /> <br />of its independent review panels, a Science Advisory Board (SAB). The SAB would be an <br /> <br />advisory and not a decision-making body. It is anticipated that the SAB would serve both the <br /> <br />[. <br /> <br />GCMRC and AMWG in providing assessments of performance ofGCMRC. In anyone year, the <br /> <br />SAB may be comprised of up to 10 members. <br /> <br />The SAB would be an interdisciplinary board, composed of scientists who are qualified, <br /> <br />based on their record of publication in the peer-reviewed literature, or other demonstrable <br /> <br />scientific achievements. Members would be selected for their scientific expertise and not as <br /> <br />representatives of a particular agency, organization, or other stakeholder group. <br /> <br />Members would be sought with expertise in the following areas: <br /> <br />1. Adaptive management <br />2. Anthropology <br />3. Archaeology' <br />4. Fisheries biology <br />5. Ecosystem / Riparian ecology <br />6. Economics <br />7. Geomorphology <br />8. GIS <br />9. Hydrology and <br /> <br />Final Draft - (12/15/97) For AMWG Review <br />
