This service is to provide Meeting Facilitation and Coordination support to the ongoing development and implementation of the Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP). Services include Structured Decision-Making expertise and guidance in the collaboration with The Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee (MRRIC) and the updating and implementation of the MRRP’s Science and Adaptive Management Plan (SAMP) for the piping plover and pallid sturgeon on the Missouri River.
Structured Decision Making (SDM) is an approach for careful and organized analysis of natural resource management decisions. Based in decision theory and risk analysis, SDM encompasses a simple set of concepts and helpful steps, rather than a rigidly-prescribed approach for problem solving. The core SDM concepts and steps to better decision making are useful across all types of decisions: from individuals making minor or personal decisions to complex public sector decisions involving multiple decision makers, scientists and other stakeholders.
How does SDM relate to Adaptive Management (ARM)? For those decisions that are iterated over time, actions taken early on may result in learning that improves management later, provided that an appropriate monitoring program is in place to provide the feedback. Adaptive management, then, is a special case of structured decision making for decisions that are iterated or linked over time
