Adaptive Management in Natural Resources is often messy, rarely preventative, contentious, and often we must act without scientific certainty. Much of the time permittees or managers are adapting to things we can�t predict. Both the permittees and range specialists must make decisions on the fly that are not necessarily covered in a NEPA document or in an AOI. Positive relationships between the rancher and agency are critical. It is the responsibility of both the rancher and agency to foster these relationships. Collaborative monitoring has been a successful strategy to help improve permittee/agency relationships.
