Protecting mangrove and saltmarsh wetlands through strategic planning policy

Dynamic Strategic Planning for Technology Policy Dynamic Strategic Planning for Technology Policy Dynamic Strategic Planning for Technology Policy Dynamic Strategic Planning for Technology Policy

Dynamic Strategic Planning is an effective method for the development of rational policies for the intelligent, effective development of technology or large-scale engineering projects. It is: • Dynamic in that it explicitly recognizes the risk and uncertainties necessarily associated with any forecast about the future performance and acceptance of any technology, and thus the need to build flex...

Managing Information Systems: Policy Planning, Strategic Planning and Operational Planning

Are all intertidal wetlands naturally created equal? Bottlenecks, thresholds and knowledge gaps to mangrove and saltmarsh ecosystems.

Intertidal wetlands such as saltmarshes and mangroves provide numerous important ecological functions, though they are in rapid and global decline. To better conserve and restore these wetland ecosystems, we need an understanding of the fundamental natural bottlenecks and thresholds to their establishment and long-term ecological maintenance. Despite inhabiting similar intertidal positions, the...

Strategic Knowledge Mapping For Improved Policy and Strategic Planning

We begin with the broader view where knowledge is considered a strategic asset[1]. More specifically, we are talking about the kind of knowledge that supports planning and decision making[2]. A Strategic Knowledge Map (SKM) is a graphic representation of how a firm understands the workings of its world. The Map is a diagram—a visualization of your decision-making options, limitations, opportuni...

Lingual Luring by Mangrove Saltmarsh Snakes (Nerodia clarkii compressicauda)

—Very few cases of predatory luring by squamate reptiles involve body parts other than the tail. Here, I report the use of the tongue by Mangrove Saltmarsh Snakes (Nerodia clarkii compressicauda) to lure prey, a behavior thus far adequately described for only one other snake species. Fishes are the only verified component of the diet of these snakes and are effectively attracted by the luring b...
