ISSUES IN MOVING FROM ADAPTATION SCIENCE TO APPLICATION AND DECISION MAKING
There have been advances in the development of frameworks and methods for vulnerability assessment and adaptation design. These have been motivated by the recognition that uncertainty in defining future environmental conditions and risks of extreme weather events must now be considered to assure the viability of individual restoration or other management projects and the longer-term achievement of overall management objectives. Still, the assessment of vulnerability to changing environmental conditions and stressors can be demanding in terms of the level of effort potentially required for the analysis and the scope of data needed. There are similar challenges associated with utilizing assessment results to review and redesign restoration or other management actions to be resilient under such changing conditions. We have worked to develop structured approaches to guide managers through the adaptation design process, applicable to a range of aquatic (and other) ecosystems, but still observe a disconnect between concepts of adaptation and their incorporation into existing decision processes. We will outline what we perceive as contributing impediments, and how better recognition of the key information needed by decision makers could help streamline the adaptation process and facilitate wider use.
