evolve mutually acceptable solutions (early). <br />• Internet communications. <br />• Cost/benefit analysis on all efforts /players. <br />• Long -range coordinated plan for the state. <br />• Involvement at the local level and regional levels to provide resources that meet <br />common multiple needs. <br />• Legislative initiatives to remove barriers to cost - effective approaches. <br />• Non - regulatory incentives. <br />Possible actions to achieve desired results <br />• Evaluate existing federal, state and local agency actions for cost- effectiveness. <br />• Develop incentives: <br />- Entrepreneurial mitigation /habitat enhancement (private and public sector) <br />- Tax incentives <br />- Direct funding of local actions <br />• Promote early involvement of parties affected in development/action evolution. <br />• State and federal agencies should devise a way to give latitude to local areas to devise <br />processes that solve local problems. <br />Additional Comments <br />• Make development pay its own way. Actions impacting species should pay for <br />mitigation and costs should be internalized by the market? <br />• Remove duplicative regulations; implement one common regulation at the local level. <br />• Suggest minimum and alternate levels of efforts (i.e. money) needed to begin and <br />sustain a watershed management approach. <br />• Hire philosopher -king as eco -czar. <br />5) Data <br />Workshop participants identified the need for more and better data coordination and <br />management in order to allow all interested parties to make informed decisions. They <br />emphasized the need for efficient, comparable, adequate data supported by on -going monitoring <br />and analysis of the results. To achieve better data coordination, workshop participants <br />identified the need for a coordinated information management system and common data -base. <br />This information management system and data base should be organized at a watershed /basin <br />scale; provide for easy access across the state and by any entity via the Internet; and include <br />habitat condition, stream flows, water quality, biological population /status, water uses, and <br />locations of species. Formulation of the data -base should be an interagency /intergovernmental <br />enterprise, and rest on a foundation of good /reliable /credible science that is accepted by <br />stakeholders and decision - makers. <br />N. <br />
