Description:
The goal of this study is to formalize an approach to inventory and analyze management decisions in order to produce useful information targeted toward effective adaptation to climate change. The approach uses as its starting point ongoing planning processes and decisions geared toward achieving environmental management goals, and then collects information on decisions and prioritizes them according to specific attributes. The pilot study described in this report applies this approach to the Chesapeake Bay Program and examines its usefulness to decision makers. This report has undergone internal review and peer consultation and is now posted for public comment.
