Common use of Adaptive Management Clause in Contracts

Adaptive Management. Adaptive management allows for mutually agreed-upon changes to the covered activities outlined in the Landowner Agreement or Neighboring Landowner Agreement in response to changing conditions or new information. If reintroductions or habitat management actions do not yield the expected results, new or additional measures can be discussed between the Parties and the Cooperator. Where there is agreement between the KDWP, the Service, and the Cooperator, the Landowner Agreement or Neighboring Landowner Agreement can be amended to include new or revised measures with landowner agreement. Decisions related to adaptive management may be based on monitoring results and conclusions from annual reporting. However, adaptive management decisions can be made at any time deemed necessary by the Parties and the Cooperator. The process for amending a Landowner Agreement is discussed in the next section.
