Implementing science planning methods within the Coregonine Restoration Framework via expert knowledge elicitation and workshop facilitation
Contributing Authors
Executive Summary
Funding from this proposal was used to fund a Native Fishes Restoration Coordinator from August 2024 through August 2025. During this time, the Coordinator completed many tasks in support of the implementation of Coregonine Restoration Framework Science Planning methods. Specifically, they planned for five expert elicitation workshops to delineate spatial units and assess threats to coregonines in multiple Great Lakes, and they led four of those workshops during the funded period. The Coordinator also wrote and distributed executive summaries of workshop results for five workshops during this time, and they completed one final report, drafted two additional final reports, drafted a manuscript for peer-reviewed publication, and gave oral and poster presentations summarizing progress at three professional meetings.
