Sound Watershed provides objective technical and/or management expertise to develop strategic approaches to natural resource management and policy issues.  Our work typically involves collaborative engagement with various local, state and federal agencies, corporations, and advisory bodies to develop comprehensive, science-based management systems.  Our staff have contributed to industry-wide standards for over a dozen management protocols, and have developed several comprehensive framework approaches for integrating adaptive management principles into management and regulatory systems.
