Some Lessons Learned
The process is the plan. Experience of collective learning,
discovery, and problem-solving. Examine political & scientific
facts & uncertainties. Prepare for ongoing
adaptive management. The ways that we learn, as well
as our knowledge, improve with experience.

Summary
The complete draft incorporates stakeholder comments and the results of Core Group discussions.
WAPTAG kept their eye on the ball.
The Action Plan can help the WMI achieve significant results.

ConclusionEcosystems are integrated and complex; social, legal, and political systems are also integrated and complex. These systems are in constant change, and change each other.
Successful intervention follows from a common understanding of how our social, political, and natural environments interact.
This Action Plan is one step in the journey toward that common understanding.
