The Cooperative Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Committee (CMER) of the Timber, Fish and Wildlife Program announces the seventh annual Forest Practices Adaptive Management Science Conference. CMER is responsible for conducting applied research in support of adaptive management of the Forests and Fish Agreement, which governs forestry practices on most private and state lands in Washington state. The Forests and Fish Agreement, which was signed into law in 1999, was designed to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act for fish and seven stream-associated amphibians.
