Ecosystem Mgmt Teams Should Plan and Begin

5. Develop initial ecosystem management plans for the projects, report
on progress, and begin implementation.

By August 1995, the Ecosystem Management Teams should complete the
initial ecosystem management plans. Measurable objectives should be
built into the plans. State, local, and tribal representatives and the
public should participate in the early stages of the ecosystem planning
process. Upon completion of the plans, the Ecosystem Management Teams
should immediately begin implementation. Beginning in February 1995, the
Interagency Ecosystem Management Task Force should prepare a brief
annual report to the Director of the OEP on progress towards ecosystem
management, along with suggested improvements for the process.
