6 Assembling, Distilling, Transmitting Decision Makers required education in terms of: Problems Uncertainties (we called them unanswered questions ) Resolution of uncertainties Options (alternative plans) Recommended actions Following the principles of Adaptive Management, as uncertainties were discovered, methods were employed to sufficiently resolve or reduce each and communicate synthesized findings across the science-decision making interface to facilitate restoration progress.

7 The Science-Decision Making Interface Abstract (execution vs. declaration) Built over time, evolved, and was fine-tuned Became the tool for strategic communications Once developed, it was cultivated to serve the needs of the restoration program Over time, this interface became as important as the information itself, enabling Trust among parties Transparency-communications preceded actions
