Plans

The Collaborative Program operates under an adaptive management framework, embracing the tenets of scientific inquiry, applied science, and standardized transparent processes. The current details of Collaborative Program operations, structure, and scientific priorities are outlined in the Long-Term Plan for Science & Adaptive Management (Long-Term Plan).

The biennial schedule is operationalized in the context of the current science and administrative priorities in each year’s annual work plan. The Annual Work Plan is developed with input from the Executive Committee (EC) Co-Chairs, the EC, and the Science and Adaptive Management Committee (SAMC), and is ultimately approved by the EC.
