Department of Defense Ecosystem Management Policy Evaluation

Abstract

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number. REPORT NUMBER AEPI AEPI-IFP-0802Fannounced the imp leme ntation of an ecosys tem manageme nt app roa.ch fo r the management of in stallation lands in a 1994 Policy Memorandum from the Offi ce of the Und er Secretary of Defense. The installation Inte gra.ted Natural Resources Manage ment Plan is th e tool for implementi ng ecosystem management. To date, th ere has bee n no retrospective review across 000 of implementation of ecosystem management. The Legacy Resou rce Management Program and DASA(ESOH) sup ported the Army Environmental Policy Institu te in studying ecosyste m management imple me ntation and providing reco mmendatio ns for improvement strategies and adj ustments to current DoD ecosys tem manage ment policy and S ervice guidance.Without thi s ex.aminati on, subs~q u ent policy ex.pressions by senior leadership will lack a sound basis. The goal of th is study is to provide ins ights into the level of ecosystem manage ment imp leme nted a.c ros s the mili tary Services. The objectives inelude pe rformi ng a gap anal ysis of the individu al military Services' co nservation po licy, regulatio ns, and gu id ance to determine if th ey carry th rou gh the re quirements s et out by DoDI 411 5.3; developing a protocol to evaluate ec osystem management imp lementation; and applyin g the pro tocol through case study.

Placing the law: The socio‐spatial impact of legal norms beyond mere compliance

“…In short, a systematic speculative investigation of the specific ways a norm can be deemed (spatially) effective beyond the compliance-noncompliance pair remains to be accomplished. It is this gap that is addressed in the next section; to do so we extensively rely on two conceptsnamely, nomotropism and effectiveness-as-operativity -developed by some Italian philosophers of law (Conte, 2000;Di Lucia, 2002Fittipaldi, 2002Fittipaldi, , 2013Lorini, 2020;Passerini Glazel, 2011, 2012.…”

Relevance of Emerging Ecosystem Service Science and Policy to the United States Department of Defense

“…The DoD adopted ecosystem-based management for natural resources as policy in 1996 and then updated that policy in 2011 (DoD Instruction 4715.03). Case-study research completed in 2002 indicated that many challenges exist to implementing ecosystem-based management principles at DoD installations (Fittipaldi and Wuichet 2002). The primary tool for implementing ecosystem-based management is the Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP).…”
