Decision analysis is used to inform complex decisions regarding natural resource management, and the USGS has worked with decision makers and stakeholders to help frame and analyze many types of natural-resources-decision problems. USGS will hold a series of workshops to: 1) identify stakeholder priorities among those identified in the CMP by means of the Structured Decision Making (SDM) PrOACT (Problem, Framing, Objectives, Alternatives, Consequences, and Tradeoffs) process; and 2) help NYSDOS develop a phased implementation strategy based on stakeholder priorities and likely net benefit(s) realized.
