The CLCC recently completed and approved our first science planning document titled, CLCC Science Strategy: Mission Alignment, as an initial step toward identifying shared conservation priorities. While the document met its stated objectives, Steering Committee (SC) members and outside reviewers have suggested the next step is to develop a framework for implementation. To carry out this step, SC members approved the use of a process called Structured Decision-Making (SDM). SDM is a formal, prescriptive, values-based method for analyzing a decision by breaking the decision into components. The specific process used in the workshop is called “PrOACT,” which refers to the decision components: Problem, Objectives, Alternatives, Consequences, and Tradeoffs. For the purposes of the CLCC, SDM provides a tool for achieving transparent, purposeful, and collaborative co-production of conservation—specifically, multi-partner landscape conservation design (LCD) for the Caribbean region.
To begin working through PrOACT the SC spent four days in El Yunque National Forest with decision support coaches Angela Romero and Mitch Aid (US FWS), Peter Freeman (USVI Independent Consulant) and Wanda Crespo (Estudio Technicos, Inc).
The objectives of this face to face meeting were to (1) introduce participating SC members to the SDM process so that they are comfortable with the process, its application, and its usefulness; (2) Frame “The Problem” SC members are jointly addressing (i.e., Step 1 of PrOACT); and (3) Develop a set of actionable “Objectives” based on CLCC shared values and priorities (i.e., Step 2 of PrOACT).
Steering Committee members agreed upon the following Decision Statement:
“The Caribbean LCC Steering Committee will develop and implement coordinated, efficient, and effective landscape-scale conservation design and strategy to conserve, restore and sustain ecological and cultural resources and services and human well-being in the Caribbean inside and outside of CLCC jurisdictional boundaries. The CLCC recognizes the following constraints and uncertainties: political and social environments, finances, multiple decision making authorities, diverse values, competing priorities, and climatic and ecological dynamics.”
The CLCC Steering Committee recognized themselves as the focal decision-makers and the organizations they represent as the implementers. The decision timeframe includes a 5-10 year planning horizon, 10-20 year implementation period (to institutionalize LCD), and the impacts of decisions will range from the present to 60 years to quasi-infinite. The group also agreed that the region of interest is the “terrestrial and marine components within the EEZ of the U.S. Caribbean, and Navassa Island, with consideration of relevant drivers, policies and impacts originating in the wider Caribbean region. The wider Caribbean is defined by UNEP.”
The Steering Committee also agreed upon four Fundamental Objectives, which will frame all future collaborative efforts of the CLCC (no particular order):
Maximize use of available operational resources
Maximize public satisfaction and well-being
Maximize the structure and function of aquatic and terrestrial resources
Maximize the integrity of cultural and historic resources
The Steering Committee agreed to create Tiger Teams, or subteams with a specific short-term task, to flesh out specific objectives and indicators for each of the Fundamental objectives.
Questions on this science planning process should be directed to CLCC Science Coordinator Brent Murry.
Theresa-Marie Rhyne created this collage of digital media photographs using Fireworks and PhotoShop on a Macintosh computer system. Fireworks is optimal for positioning of photographs while PhotoShop is optimal for colorizations and adding of digital brush strokes. The composition was created in 2001.
Objective point of view is shown here by a bystander's view of what is going on in the photo. Here we can see that the bystander is watching the model in her pike stretch.
The fortress of Cardona is composed of a castle and a church. In some missing parts, the technique of objective contrast reform is used to rebuild the ensemble. To avoid confusions, the new elements reminds the shapes but use contemporaneous materials. You can clearly distinguish the original (stone in front) from the actual (steel and concrete on the lateral).
Non lo diciamo che quella figura nera che si staglia sullo sfondo era la chiatta della spazzatura! :P
The objective of this workshop in the Municipality of La Higuera, in the region of Coquimbo, was to define a solution to minimize the problem of marine litter in the municipality and establish an action plan with stakeholders.
The most important results of this workshop is the agreement to upgrade the municipal legislation linked to cleanliness in coastal areas. Beach cleaning and restauration of beaches through activities will also be led by the organization "Programa Científicos de la Basura". Finally, a campaign was launched locally to promote the use of cloth bags to reduce the use of plastic.

Guard dog in house. In open ground. Back to sun and wind!
Taken a bit down the road from this observation. Took 3 shots, this one, one shot to the right & one to the left.
Looking straight down the direction travelling. At this stage I was about 100-200 metres from Objective A going downhill towards B. A large dog started barking. Not a problem as it was chained. But would have been a problem if it was not. I was in the open, exposed with only an electric fence. No doubt I'll take the 20K volts scaling the fence rather than take on a Rotty. Even if it means a few jolts :)

I yelled down to everyone at the base: How do I know if its poisonous?"
Millipede is ok but a Centipede is not, this one looks to have a thousand legs but I still let him pass.
Headed down the road one evening, the light between storms shifting the colors, I wonder if anyone else ever notices how beautiful this abandoned lot can be.

More slight tweaks to the task input sheet which should make it easier to use. You can also see a peek of the new transparent scrollbar – no more ugly opaque gray scrollbar on dark backgrounds!
