DESCRIPTION: "Monitoring in support of policy: an adaptive ecosystem approa
 ch." \n\n From the paper we're reading for\, and discussing at\, the May (
 remote) meeting: \n\n \n "The premise of the traditional approach to manag
 ement (anticipatory management) is that it is possible to predict and anti
 cipate the consequences of decisions. Once all the necessary information i
 s gathered to make a scientific forecast\, the "right" decision can be mad
 e. This approach is not valid when dealing\nwith complex systems\, however
 . Given the limitations imposed by complexity\, the\nfocus of management a
 nd decision-making strategies must be on maintaining the\ncapacity to adap
 t to changing environmental conditions. Adaptive management\ninvolves a ve
 ry different agenda than anticipatory management. In adaptive management\,
  differences between how the future actually unfolds and how it was envisi
 oned are seen as opportunities for learning.This is in sharp contrast to a
 nticipatory management which sees such deviations as"errors" to be avoided
 . Much of the agenda of adaptive management is learning through experiment
 ation rather than focusing on error avoidance. Monitoring plays a crucial 
 role in adaptive management. It provides feedback necessary for adaptive l
 earning\, information to generate narratives\, and advice to determine if 
 alternative courses of action are required.At the core of an adaptive ecos
 ystem." \n \n\n If you're intrigued by this quote\, there's more! \n\n Our
  Papers in Systems discussion series will continue with discussion of “M
 onitoring in Support of Policy: An Adaptive Ecosystem Approach.” by Mich
 elle Boyle\, James Kay\, and Bruce Pond. 2001. (in Encyclopedia of Global 
 Environmental Change 4 (14): 116–137.) \n\n The discussion will be led b
 y Rein Henrichs (@reinh on twitter). \n\n When: May 8th\, 2023\, 1PM - 2PM
  Eastern Time (US/Canada). The Zoom room will remain open until 2:30PM for
  informal discussion. Check time in your time zone. \n\n The paper is avai
 lable at:\n[note: not secure] http://documentacion.ideam.gov.co/openbiblio
