Developing a Process for Listing Injurious Wildlife Species
This project will develop a transparent process for prioritizing species for listing as injurious, likely to cause damage or harm, under the Lacey Act. Building upon previously developed "horizon scan" and "watchlist" products, this process will identify potentially invasive species that present the greatest risk to lands, waters, and other assets managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
An Expert Elicitation to Inform Coastal Management Decision-Making for Mitigating Future Hazards: Elicited Values An Expert Elicitation to Inform Coastal Management Decision-Making for Mitigating Future Hazards: Elicited Values
A scientific expert elicitation was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in March 2022 to address the feasibility of restoring coastal environments in response to future hazards to best meet management objectives. Subject matter experts produced probabilistic estimates of coastal change metrics used to evaluate decision objectives and alternatives informed by a stakeholder advisory...
