Document Summary
Bias are used to assess baseline conditions and determine the biophysical impacts of a project on a particular region. To determine the extent to which the science of ecology could contribute to the design and conduct of assessment studies. Notable findings: government administrators and scientists responsible for establishing the. Project proponents/consultants responsible for crafting study programs to meet terms of reference. Science standards lacking: terms of reference: the purpose and structure of a group of people who have agreed to accomplish a shared goal, without proper standards ea is weakened. Major problems: need a common scientific standard, agreement early between those conducting and reviewing assessments. Information transfer and use of leading edge concepts, techniques and approaches. Late in the process is not acceptable: early on during the design stage is desirable. If done too late, reccommendations that come out of review cannot be acted on.
