Please email comments suggestions to Carol Cain ccain@ RECREATION NAVIGATION PREFACE: Purpose of this document how to read the edits; The Maryland Coastal Bays Program is in the process of updating the Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (1999). MCBP is a consensus based organization that seeks to bridge community concerns with local, state and federal expertise and resources to protect and preserve the Atlantic Coastal Bays. We are seeking the technical advice of resource professionals to assist with the update of this plan. Please consider the following questions; As a Partner in implementing the CCMP, how should specific action items be edited to reflect your agency’s goals? Despite current limitations, what natural resource initiatives do you anticipate to occur over the next 10 – 15 years? Are those initiatives reflected in the CCMP? How can the staff of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program assist your group in meeting those initiative goals? A tracking and evaluation of plan implementation occurred by committee in September 2011. The implementation status and comments from the committee has been inserted throughout this document in red text, based on the following criteria; Implementation status: based on a scale of 0 – 100 % Full: Full implementation completed or nearing completion (75 – 100%) Substantial: Major progress has been made (50 – 74%) Moderate: Fair progress has been made (25 – 49%) Some: Progress is beginning (10 – 24%) Minimal: Very limited progress (0 – 9%) Tracking Committee recommendations for future efforts DONE – the action is completed as written INSTITUTIONALIZED – actions that have become standard operating procedures DELETE – the action is infeasible, obsolete, or irrelevant to Partner goals KEEP – action should continue to be implemented as written MODIFY – the language or intent of the action should be revisited for clarity CONSOLIDATE – the language or intent of the action is duplicative or otherwise
