• What is adaptive management?• Brief summary of the Open Standards for the
Practice of Conservation• Resources available to support implementation
of the Open Standards
Why Do Adaptive Management?
• Are we achieving an impact?
• Are we doing the right things?
• Are we doing them well?
What is Adaptive Management?
The integration of project or program planning, management, and monitoring to provide a framework for:
• Testing assumptions• Learning• Adapting

Brief Summary of the Open Standards
1. Summarize what you want to conserve
2. Understand current & desired condition
3. Identify and rank threats
4. Develop a general model of socioeconomic-ecological system
5. Identify strategies based on the general model
6. Define theories of change to show how strategies will work
7. Implement the strategies, checking as you go
8. Adjust

Measurable Goal: By 2025, there will be a 10% increase in the survival of leatherback and green turtles into the GoC compared to 2005 levels.
Indicator: Abundance IndexMethod: Counting of nesting turtlesDate: Every three years, starting in 2007Responsible Entity: Turtle camps personnelPlace: Baja California Sur and Michoacán turtle camps

Measurable Objective: By 2012, 90% of the Gulf’s artisanal longliner fleet will operate with circle hooks.
Indicator: Percentage of boats using circle hooks
Measurable Objective: By 2009, we will have a proven method (circular hooks) to significantly reduce marine turtle bycatch from the artisanal longline fleets from 12 locations on the Mexican Pacific.
Indicator: Circular hooks bycatch rate for marine turtle
Measurable Objective: By 2010, at least 220,000 circular hooks will have been exchanged for the same number of type “J” hooks in the artisanal longliner fleet in the GoC.
Indicator: Number of “J” hooks exchanged for circular hooks
Example of a Real Theory of Change
Activity Planning:By July 2008, carry out 10 three-day fishing trials in three different locations using circular hooks. Publish full report by November 2008.
Activity Planning:By January 2009, develop, staff, publicize and initiate major hooks exchange campaign initiative in three regions.
