• the need for a philosophy or management for systems and species. <br />• the need to assess what research has been performed and what additional research <br />is necessary. <br />• the need to better integrate property rights (including water) and land -use <br />planning. <br />Group IV Summary: <br />The data implies or demonstrates: <br />• The following questions: <br />** Do we need to save every species? <br />** Do some species substitute for others? <br />** Do we need to prioritize? <br />• the need for a process that addresses various aspects of the problem. <br />• the need to reach consensus on management efforts (encompassing data <br />collection, education, and funding, including addressing the question of who pays <br />if we do something, and who pays if we do not do something). <br />• the need for a dual commitment that focuses the biggest bang for the buck and <br />also encourages continued data collection and adjustment based on new data and <br />analysis. <br />• the need to focus on solutions and make decisions because the consequences are <br />too great to wait for all data. <br />• the need to look at the whole array of factors contributing to decline in order to <br />decide where to put resources, since data presented at this workshop failed to <br />identify other factors beyond water quality and quantity (i.e., events impacts <br />of /on non - natives, time frames, other human activities, etc.) <br />H. THE COMPONENTS FOR THE DESIRED FUTURE MANAGEMENT OF <br />AQUATIC SPECIES, LAND AND WATER RESOURCES. <br />Following the brainstorming exercise on the significance / implications of the data indicating <br />decline, the small groups were next asked to identify the desired components for the future <br />management of aquatic species, land, and water resources. Following several brainstorming <br />and prioritizing steps, the small groups identified eight major components that together could <br />3 <br />
