Committees
FRENCHMAN BAY COMMITTEES Frenchman Bay Planning Committee A Frenchman Bay Planning Committee emerged from the stakeholder meetings in 2010. The committee met regularly in late 2010 and 2011 to determine next steps toward creation of a Frenchman Bay Plan. A number of subcommittees have formed from this group to take on particular tasks, including retreat planning and web site development.

Being able to determine whether actions to conserve habitats and species are working is critical to the success of any conservation effort. As we create a bay plan, we will develop goals that have measurable outcomes, and we will define the methods by which we will monitor the success of our conservation actions. The main components of the Open Standards are the five steps of the project management cycle. These include: Developing a vision: What do we want to be happening on our bay as a result of our conservation efforts? Creating a plan that helps to guide progress toward that vision. Setting the plan into action; getting things done and then monitoring the success of our actions Analyzing data and then using…
