Protection Strategies A. Overview CET is involved in a variety of programs. The Trust mediates among various groups on environmental issues, manages environmental trust funds resulting from lawsuit settlements due to damage to the environment, and establishes and manages collaborative meetings of citizens and organizations concerned about specific environmental and development issues. The Board of Directors selects projects based on the availability of money, and whether the project fits within the CET's mandates. Most projects undertaken by CET are cooperative efforts, or at least involve other agencies or private organizations. For more information on NCCP, see California Department of Fish and Game chapter .
