Project Description

The objective of this Monitoring and Adaptive Management (MAM) Activity Implementation Plan (MAIP) is to develop and implement a practical, tangible, and easily accessible, interactive lessons learned database from Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (LA TIG) restoration projects, and document rationale for operation and maintenance decisions to inform future planning and objective setting. This database will capture LA TIG restoration lessons learned, where they can be accessed by project planners, implementers, and contractors. It will also evaluate former projects conducted under other programs, as needed, to apply lessons learned to Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) restoration planning and implementation. It will include relevant historical lessons learned from project reports and documents, develop dynamic ways to access and search that information, and provide a repository for new lessons learned to be captured during current and future ecosystem restoration projects as well as programmatic scale ecosystem restoration planning. The interactive lessons learned database will support the most fundamental component of Adaptive Management – improving future restoration outcomes based upon lessons learned during previous projects/programs. It will identify and track critical knowledge gaps and data needs, so that project teams can track updates and new knowledge related to known uncertainties. It will be intuitive and simple to use, with minimal (or no) training or explanation needed for successful use, and controlled vocabulary (such as pull-down menus) to assist with effective searching.
