Ecosystem and watershed management share some common themes. They both aim to:
integrate science and politics,
consider variable scales, zooming out to landscapes and zooming in to sites, have a long-term time perspective, be scientifically based, using the best science and scientific learning, focus on ecological integrity along with social and economic objectives, consider a wide range of integrated solutions, engage stakeholders to tap local knowledge and values use monitoring and adaptive management to learn and fine-tune strategies.
Management Actions:
Adaptive and Integrative solutions
Adaptive Management
Passive Adaptive Management:
managers use historical or comparative analysis to determine a best guess hypothesis of outcomes from a preferred action, and then monitor real outcomes the results of which are then used to revise the hypothesis and management action.
With multiple experiments, active AM can provide more meaning data on outcomes in a shorter time frame than passive AM, but it is generally more costly to implement.
Adaptive Management
Appropriate when situation has high uncertainty and high controllability
