Independent Scientific Input Sample Clauses

Independent Scientific Input. ‌ The Local Agencies and DFG intend to include independent scientific input and analysis to assist in the preparation of the Plan. For that purpose, a list of potential Independent Science Advisors is being developed by BCAG. The Science Advisors will at a minimum, provide recommendations, advice and guidance to the Local Agencies and DFG on: • scientifically sound conservation strategies for species and natural communities proposed to be covered by the Plan; • reserve design principles that address the needs of species, landscapes, ecosystems, and ecological processes in the planning area proposed to be addressed by the Plan; • management principles and conservation goals that can be used in developing a framework for the monitoring and adaptive management component of the plan; and • data gaps and uncertainties so that risk factors can be evaluated. The Science Advisors will consist of approximately 12 scientists currently being assembled by BCAG, in consultation with the Wildlife Agencies, to provide technical expertise on the affected taxonomic groups, larger scale ecological processes, principles of conservation biology, and conservation and land use planning in practice. The Independent Science Advisors may be asked to provide additional feedback on key issues during preparation of the Plan, and may prepare reports regarding specific scientific issues throughout the process, as deemed necessary by the Local Agencies and DFG. Design and implementation of the science advisory process must be done in a coordinated fashion and with the mutual agreement of the Local Agencies and DFG. The Local Agencies and DFG will establish a funding source and payment procedures. The independent science advisory process will include the development of a detailed scope of work, use of a professional facilitator, input from technical experts, and production of a report by the scientists. In addition, the Local Agencies and DFG will make the report available for use by all participants and the public during the planning process.

Independent Scientific Input. ‌ In 2001, the County contracted with a group of independent science advisors to review computer models, field research data, and potential Preserve design methods for the North County Plan. Their recommendations were summarized in a written report dated July 1, 2001 and resulted in revisions to the modeling process and incorporation of the SITES Reserve Selection Algorithm model. In 2002, the independent science advisors reconvened to review the revisions made based on the 2001 recommendations. Their response to the revisions made to the North County Plan modeling process and their recommendations and input on the Preserve planning process are summarized in a written report dated February 27, 2002. In 2006, the County convened another group of independent science advisors to provide input on the East County Plan. They participated in two workshops (February 2006 and January 2007) and produced a report dated March 31, 2006. County and CDFW anticipate additional consultation with independent scientists as preparation of the Plans continues in order to ensure that Plans are developed using the “best available” science methodologies. The County and CDFW intend to seek additional independent scientific input and analysis to assist in the completion of the North County Plan and in the preparation of the East County Plan. For that purpose, independent scientists representing a broad range of disciplines, including conservation biology and locally relevant ecological knowledge, will, at a minimum: • Recommend scientifically sound conservation strategies for species and natural communities proposed to be covered by the Plans; • Recommend a set of reserve design principles that address the needs of species, landscapes, ecosystems, and ecological processes in the Plan Areas proposed to be addressed by the Plans; • Recommend management principles and conservation goals that can be used in developing a framework for the monitoring and adaptive management components of the Plans; and • Identify data gaps and uncertainties so that risk factors can be evaluated. Design and implementation of the science advisory process must be done in a coordinated fashion and with the mutual agreement of the County and CDFW. The County and CDFW will establish funding and payment procedures. The independent science advisory process will include the preparation of a detailed scope of work, input from technical experts, and production of a report by the scientists.
