19. So what are some of the ideas that I
will focus on today
20. Main ideas of ecosystem management
• Ecosystems are multi-dimensional
• Boundaries are only as real as you want them to be
• Manage for overall integrity
• Always collect and synthesize primary data
• Engage in monitoring
• Inter-Agency cooperation
• Humans embedded in nature
• Adaptive Management – experiment and learn
• Open to organizational change as fits the system
• Values are more important than facts and logic
21. Values and Goals
• You get this from social, economic, and
political
• Most important
• Not science or quantitative but drives
everything
33. No difference
data: responses out of sent
sample estimates:
prop A prop B
0.04800000 0.05333333
95 percent confidence interval:
-0.02169480 0.01102814
X-squared = 0.3396, df = 1, p-value = 0.5601
alternative hypothesis: two.sided
Type I = saying there is a difference when there isn’t
Type II = saying there is no difference when there is
44. Take homes
• Be more quant
• Do experiments don’t just do
• Take advantage of natural experiments
• Manage your ecosystem for key indicators
• Diversity is important
• Take the analogy of ecosystems farther and
learn from them
