The '''2001 GCDAMP Strategic Plan''' is a guidance document for the GCDAMP and was developed by program members. Elements of this plan include the Glen
Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Work Group’s vision and mission statements, as well as
principles, goals, and management objectives. One of the primary objectives of the program is to
meet the environmental and monitoring commitments of the Glen Canyon Dam Final
Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision, and comply with the Grand Canyon
Protection Act of 1992. The Grand Canyon Protection Act mandated the preparation of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision to direct operations of Glen Canyon
Dam and use other authorities in such a manner as to protect, mitigate adverse impacts to, and
improve the values for which Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area were established. Recognizing the complexity of this task, the Record of
Decision for the Operation of Glen Canyon Dam Final Environmental Impact Statement directed
the Bureau of Reclamation and other interested agencies, tribes, organizations, and individuals to
use an adaptive management approach for implementing the preferred alternative. This approach
is described in this strategic plan.

It is anticipated that this strategic plan is a long-term plan; however, it is recommended that the
Adaptive Management Work Group review this plan at the beginning of every other federal
fiscal year. The review process should be completed within six months of the beginning of the
fiscal year in which the review takes place. If any of the stakeholders or the interested public
identify changes that are needed to the strategic plan, including changes to any of the goals,
management objectives, or information needs, these recommendations will be made to the
Adaptive Management Work Group for approval and incorporation in a revised plan.

! style="width=20%; background:#cedff2;" | 2001 [[Strategic Science Plan]] <br> The 2001 GCMRC Strategic Science Plan (SSP) identifies general strategies for the next 5 years to provide science information responsive to the goals, management objectives, and priority questions as described in the AMPSP and other planning direction approved by the AMWG.

! style="width=20%; background:#cedff2;" | [[Core Monitoring Plan]] <br> The GCMRC Core Monitoring Plan (CMP) describes the consistent, long-term, repeated measurements using scientifically accepted protocols to measure status and trends of key resources to answer specific questions. Core monitoring is implemented on a fixed schedule regardless of budget or other circumstances (for example, water year, experimental flows, temperature control, stocking strategy, nonnative control, etc.) affecting target resources.
