“…Clearly, if the impacts were the same there would be little point in engaging in participation at all, unless the methodology cost less than the conventional methodology. If the outcomes are different, they could lead to 'better' or 'worse' impacts (Berardi 2002). Even if better impacts are produced, one then has to ask whether there were additional costs or savings associated with participation compared with the conventional model, and whether the benefits were worth these extra costs or savings.…”

“…But more fundamentally, participatory adaptive management would entail a much deeper utilization of stakeholder groups than has been attempted in Kings Bay. Following a general framework suggested by Berardi (2002), we would argue that the typology of stakeholder participation has been one of ''consultation'' in which agency officials give presentations and answer questions, but assume no obligation to accept and/or act upon any of the questions asked. The goal of participatory adaptive management, however, is what Berardi (2002) calls an ''interactive participation'' that involves local citizens directly in research, development, analysis, and implementation of ecosystem management plans.…”

There is certainly a risk that such a process could, as Sagoff worries, collapse into a ''group grope'' of different scientists aligning with different stakeholders, causing a morass of deepened confusion, indecision, and ineffectiveness-i.e., the much-feared ''paralysis by analysis.''…”

Our recent paper advocating adaptive management of invasive nonnative species (INS) in Kings Bay, Florida received detailed responses from both Daniel Simberloff, a prominent invasion biologist, and Mark Sagoff, a prominent critic of invasion biology. Simberloff offers several significant lines of criticism that compel detailed rebuttals, and, as such, most of this reply is dedicated to this purpose. Ultimately, we find it quite significant that Simberloff, despite his other stated objections to our paper, apparently agrees with our argument that proposals for alternative management of established INS (i.e., alternatives to minimization/eradication) should not be rejected on an a priori basis. We argue that more specific development and application of adaptive approaches toward INS management, whether in Kings Bay or other appropriate case studies, would be facilitated if ecosystem managers and invasion biologists follow Simberloff's lead on this key point. While Sagoff largely shares (and, indeed, served as a primary source for developing) our general arguments that challenge common moral and scientific assumptions associated with invasion biology, he does question our suggestion that participatory adaptive management provides an appropriate framework for approaching environmental problems in which science and politics are inherently entangled. We attempt to answer this criticism through a brief sketch of what participatory adaptive management might look like for Kings Bay and how such an approach would differ from past management approaches.

“…Different approaches to participatory research have been described (for example, Berardi 2002, Park et al 1993, Petras and Porpora 1993. Participatory research is fundamentally a collaborative learning approach, with open dialogue among stakeholders and researchers working as full partners in the research project.…”
