Planning

Activities Map| Water Quality| Watersheds

Designing a solution to a management action or planning for that action involves researching the following components:

  • Stakeholder Needs
  • Current Activities or Partners
  • Recommended Objectives
  • Recommended Strategies
Following adaptive management principles you should identify any potential stakeholders that might have an opinion, some authority, or a general interest. Knowing all your goals up front is a good way to increase the successfulness of your management action. After identifying stakeholder, look for potential partners and current activities to reduce cost and effort. Refer to the CAP goal sections below for more information on identifying potential partners, activities, and resources.
