Bob,
I also think this is an important topic, for if true (and very likely it is),
then we really should be thinking strategically about what should be, can be,
done about it. Although it is often thought of as separate and on a different
scale from climate change, degradation and loss of landscapes and their related
aquatic systems is also occurring globally, perhaps irretrievably (e.g.,
prairie and prairie wetlands and streams in Midwest), and is occurring through
application of the same paradigm - consider socio-economics first and foremost,
short term vs long term thinking, intergenerational inequity, etc..

In catching up on old e-mails, Jacob's concern re: how much public input to
heed relative to the importance for sound sci. is a key topic that I've been
thinking a lot about during the last 5 yrs. (including 2 AFS presentations in
the western USA, i.e., Portland & Reno). Here in WA, we've been taught to
balance these concerns for instream-flow setting, although things haven't
always favored F&W resources that way. Reminds me of past Entiat R.
(mid-Columbia) negotiations, where closed-door session(s) kept aquatic
ecologists like me from full participation (i.e., interagency politics) re:
agricultural-water reservations taking precedence over instream-flow setting. I
don't think that much has changed recently.

Subject: [External] IFC_mail: Revisiting IFC Policies and Strategies
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click

content. -- WV Office of Technology
Beginning in 2002 with publication of our first book, IFC has produced a number
of high quality educational materials and held 4 international workshops to
help enhance our members' ability to manage streams and lakes for fish and
wildlife. The lessons in these exercises are as relevant today as when they
were created, but as is often the case, our busy workload sometimes leads us
away from these resources. So to keep these documents alive and increase member
networking, ExCom has endorsed a project to revisit some of the policies and
strategies that we've developed over the years. With a little luck (and
memory), we'll send out a short set of information for you to consider on a
monthly basis. The attached Overview provides more details about the project,
and Topic #1 is the first set of policies and strategies for you to check out.
I know you're all busy and really don't need one more thing to do, but ExCom is
convinced that this project is valuable to our members and I encourage you to
check this out and share your feedback.
Good luck and, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or
comments.
Tom
