|a Sea level rise (SLR) projections along the coast of Florida present an
enormous challenge for management and conservation over the long term. Decision
makers need to recognize and adopt strategies to adapt to the potentially detrimental
effects of SLR. Structured decision making (SDM) provides a rigorous framework
for the management of natural resources. The aim of SDM is to identify decisions
that are optimal with respect tomanagement objectives and knowledge of the system.
Most applications of SDM have assumed that the managed systems are governed
by stationary processes. However, in the context of SLR it may be necessary to
acknowledge that the processes underlying managed systems may be non-stationary,
such that systems will be continuously changing. Therefore, SLR brings some unique considerations to the application of decision theory for natural resource management.
In particular, SLR is expected to affect each of the components of SDM.
For instance, management objectives may have to be reconsidered more frequently
than under more stable conditions. The set of potential actions may also have to
be adapted over time as conditions change. Models have to account for the nonstationarity
of the modeled system processes. Each of the important sources of
uncertainty in decision processes is expected to be exacerbated by SLR.We illustrate
our ideas about adaptation of natural resource management to SLR by modeling a
non-stationary system using a numerical example. We provide additional examples
of an SDM approach for managing species that may be affected by SLR, with a focus
on the endangered Florida manatee. |
