COMMUNICATION IS CRITICAL

In order to reach the goals of the OAP as outlined in the FOARAM Act, clear communication among scientists, resource managers, policy makers and the public is vital.  Such communication must include scientists sharing recent research findings with their peers and others.  Educators and communicators can also communicate current research and possible implications of research findings to managers, policy makers, and the public so that informed decisions can be made regarding adaptation strategies and policy implementation.
