<br />GCMRC will continue strategies in 2005-2007 that streamline its knowledge <br />dissemination to its primary stakeholders. the Adaptive Management Work GrouP. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. AMWG and TWG management infonnation needs and priorities will be <br />clearly identified for each science program activity. <br /> <br />. GCMRC planning (i.e., strategic, operational, study) documents will include a <br />management summary statement that focuses on key management infonnation <br />sought, its relationship to infonnation needs, and expected utility of results. <br /> <br />. Specific knowledge assessments will be developed (i.e., Conference <br />proceedings, SCORE Report) with the intent of documenting both what we <br />know and what we need to know to meet management needs. <br /> <br />. All research, development and monitoring reports will have a developed <br />"Management Implications Section" that explicitly ties the science outcome to <br />a management need. <br /> <br />. The GCMRC web site will create a separate page for ecosystem impact <br />assessments that will be devoted to displaying annually updates to the status- <br />of-knowledge as related to specified management needs. <br /> <br />. GCMRC has a commitment to the greater science community to continue <br />publication of referred journal articles, USGS technical science reports and <br />contributions to published proceedings. These outputs will continue to <br />subscribe to the highest science standards, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Need to Include Management Development Activities in eRE <br /> <br />The GCD AMP program continues to change as more knowledge is gained, In <br />this transition, managers are becoming more directly involved in development activities <br />and application. Programmed effectively, these actions can result in accelerated learning <br />in the adaptive management process. However, currently much of these activities are not <br />captured in GCMRC's infonnation development programs. <br /> <br />Scientists and managers must implement greater collaboration and cooperation to <br />assure that both management action and learning advances together. In adaptive <br />management programs, the requirements of research infonnation can diminish as <br />programs mature/advance. In this transition, more science efforts are devoted to <br />monitoring and cooperative development programs with managers, In this process, <br />management begins to implement more approaches that have been validated by science. <br />This process is occurring in the GCD AMP, but protocols do not capture developed <br />knowledge. <br /> <br />USGS SBSC GCMRC Strategic Science Plan - FY 2005-2009 <br />Draft, October 22, 2004 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />28 <br />
