We utilized recommendations from the Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Update process to identify optimal allocations of limited funds across space and time for conservation in the SF Bay. Subregional-scale alternative allocations of resources were evaluated for maximizing conservation benefits at a Bay-wide scale. The allocations will address uncertain climate change impacts along with budgetary and regulatory constraints. To identify optimal allocations we conducted an expert-facilitated Structured-Decision-Making (SDM) process consisting of :
Four 2-hr webinars in April 2014 [Completed] One 2.5-day workshop in May 2014 The final outcome was a set of subregional resource allocations that are based on decision-analytic approaches.These allocations will help guide natural resource management decisions throughout the Bay Area in the face of upcoming climate and land use changes.
