... The SFWMD and Everglades National Park are represented on the external executive committee and are involved in all aspects of the LTER program, and, conversely, the LTER program leverages substantial additional support from these agencies. LTER program data are used by the agencies in reporting, and many LTER scientists serve on advisory committees for the SFWMD and Everglades National Park.

... , and the appropriate resources to learn at those levels do not appear to be in place. The preparation of an Everglades Restoration Science Plan should be under the auspices of a group that can focus on long-term goals across CERP and nonCERP efforts, evaluate prior success and failure in science support of restoration decision making, and, if needed, identify reforms to the existing science enter BOX 6-5 Levels of Learning and General Definitions Adaptive management requires an environment that promotes intentional learning, and the type of learning may differ when applied at different levels of the restoration governance structure (­Pahl-Wostl, 2009)

... . Developing and Implementing the Science Plan: Advancing Essential Science Actions The committee's vision for a restoration science plan -- that is, a list of high-priority science actions that can help to guide the investment of resources across multiple agencies and the application of the skills of agency scientists, academia, or contractors to fill knowledge gaps that are critical for restoration decision making -- is discussed in depth earlier in the chapter (see The Need for a Science Plan)

... Identifying funding for science to support the restoration of the South Florida ecosystem will be particularly challenging. Although the lack of a centralized source of funding may preclude collective funding for science needs, some agencies may be able to direct funds to portions of the Everglades Restoration Science Plan that align with their specific mission and interests.

... Competitive processes can help to ensure that all inter ested and capable parties are provided an opportunity to conduct work identified in the science plan and are routinely used by organizations such as Sea Grant to develop management-relevant research. The Florida RESTORE Act Centers of Excellence Program awards grants via a competitive, peer-reviewed process to support sustainable Gulf Coast Region ecosystem goods and services, including

... funds science through a competitive process but requires inclusion of resource m­ anagers or users on the research teams. The Everglades Restoration Science Plan should be revisited at least every 5 years to document progress and respond to the evolving science needs; this time period allows for a reasonable amount of progress on funded initiatives while allowing for emerging priorities.

... science coordination to advance and exchange knowledge; and (3) identification and establishment of focused science actions necessary to support progress.
From page 235...
... The Everglades science enterprise should develop a science plan to advance and implement essential science actions that directly support restoration decision making. This effort will require intense multiagency and stakeholder coordination.
