This '''Strategic Science Plan (SSP) to Support the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program, Fiscal Years 2007-2011''' is one element of an overall science-planning process used by the Grand
Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC) to provide independent, objective science
support to the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program. We designed the plan to be
responsive to the goals and the priority information needs identified by the Adaptive Management
Work Group The Adaptive Management Work Group is a Federal Advisory Committee that
makes recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior on the operation of Glen Canyon Dam
and other management actions intended to meet the U.S. Department of the Interior’s obligations
under the Grand Canyon Protection Act. The strategies presented here will be used to guide the
development and implementation of monitoring and research activities for fiscal years (FY)
2007–11. The Plan was updated in April 2009 to reflect provisions of several NEPA documents
and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biological opinions related to the operation of Glen Canyon
Dam.

! style="width=20%; background:#cedff2;" | [[GCDAMP Strategic Plan]] <br> The GCDAMP Strategic Plan (AMPSP) is a long-term plan drafted in August 2001 by GCDAMP and GCMRC participants that identifies the AMWG’s vision, mission, principles, goals, management objectives, information needs, and management actions.

! style="width=20%; background:#cedff2;" | [[Strategic Science Plan]] <br> The 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.

! style="width=20%; background:#cedff2;" | [[Monitoring and Research Plan]] <br> The GCMRC Monitoring and Research Plan (MRP) specifies (1) core monitoring activities, (2) research and development activities, and (3) long-term experimental activities consistent with the strategies and priorities established in this SSP to be conducted over the next 5 years to address some of the strategic science questions associated with AMWG priority questions. 

! style="width=20%; background:#cedff2;" | [[GCDAMP Budget|Budget and Workplan]] <br> The GCMRC Triennial Work Plan (TWP) identifies the scope, objectives, and budget for monitoring and research activities planned for a 3-year period. When completed, the triennial work plan will be consistent with the MRP.
