Monitoring and Adaptive Management Strategies Clause Samples

The Monitoring and Adaptive Management Strategies clause establishes a framework for regularly assessing project performance and making necessary adjustments to management approaches based on observed outcomes. In practice, this clause requires parties to implement monitoring protocols, collect relevant data, and periodically review results to determine if objectives are being met. If issues or unexpected changes arise, the clause allows for modifications to strategies or operations to better achieve desired results. Its core function is to ensure ongoing project effectiveness and responsiveness, addressing uncertainties and enabling proactive problem-solving throughout the project lifecycle.
Monitoring and Adaptive Management Strategies. ‌ The SMP guidelines for restoration planning state that local programs should “…appropriately review the effectiveness of the projects and programs in meeting the overall restoration goals” (WAC 173-26-201(2)(f)). Monitoring of the progress of any restoration plan is an important step in documenting progress and managing change in the shoreline environment. Phase 3 of the SMP guidelines restoration framework (based on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2005) provides a general roadmap for assessing restoration actions and revising the approach to meeting restoration goals. It includes the following objectives: • Adaptively manage restoration projects; • Monitor post-restoration conditions; and • Use monitoring and maintenance results to inform future restoration activities. As defined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. (2001), adaptive management is “the integration of design, management, and monitoring to systematically test assumptions in order to adapt and learn.” Testing assumptions involves first thinking about the situation at a specific location and developing a specific set of assumptions about what is occurring at that site and what actions one might be able to use to affect these events. For example, if a bulkhead has been placed in the marine nearshore environment in such a fashion as to block shore-drift behind it, then restoration may include removal of the bulkhead and long-term sediment monitoring to determine whether natural net shore-drift is restored. Restoration practitioners can then implement these actions and monitor the actual results to see how they compare to the ones predicted by the set of assumptions. Adaptation, in turn, is about taking action to improve a project based on the results of monitoring (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2001). Adaptation involves changing assumptions and interventions to respond to new information obtained through monitoring efforts. As in our previous example, if a catastrophic landslide occurs within the reach formerly deprived of sediment, it may no longer be necessary to perform beach nourishment on a recurring basis within that reach. Ongoing monitoring would make clear the necessity of adapting to changed circumstances; namely, the unexpected addition of a new sediment source within the drift cell feeding the scoured beach. At this time, ▇▇▇▇▇ County does not have dedicated staff or funds to monitor or evaluate restoration projects systematically, and will rely on efforts by organizations involved in restoration activities to supply information ...
