From page 84...
... Effective synthesis and dissemination of research findings and the formal leadership role DOT is given in the restoration process may determine the impact of CES] science on the South Florida ecosystem restoration.

From page 85...
... The CEST program should develop a consistent and objective process for peer reviews of CEST proposals and a fast-track review process for critical research findings. CEST program managers should work closely with formal program advisory committees to incorporate diverse expert advice into the establishment of research priorities and to promote closer linkages with other South Florida monitoring and research activities.

From page 86...
... In the compressed timeframe of the South Florida restoration, an effective adaptive management process will be critical in order to incorporate new scientific information and guide project design. Barriers hinder the integration of research findings in all levels of the restoration planning process, and critical gaps exist in translating the available ecosystem data into knowledge

From page 87...
... In addition to providing additional science funding support, restoration managers should also reevaluate the current restoration schedule in cases when critical science questions remain that could impact project design decisions beyond their inherent operational flexibility. Adequate funds should be made available to hire the staff needed to communicate both CEST and non-CESI science findings to restoration planners, decision makers, and the RECOVER teams.
