This is the creative method of project implementation without the complete scientific certainty or complete consensus and requires a feedback loop. Monitoring and evaluation provides the feedback for management change if needed. This is a good idea and leads into the next sections. It should be developed in close cooperation with fishery managers and other concerned parties. Federal, State, Tribal, including non-profit and for profit entities.
Ecological management is adaptive and experimental.
This principal requires the monitoring and evaluation data that good science gets with the empirical method. The natural resource exploitation brings the question forward as to the sustainability of actions and the biological carrying capacity of our natural vs. human created environment. This is very evident in water quality monitoring of the habitat of endangered species that live in that water. I discussed the proposal that was not funded by Bonneville Power Administration due to the poor review by the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority and the Independent Scientific Review Board. I asked three questions in a random survey of the many people that I could engage in conversation.
