摘要

October 2013 San Francisco Estuary & Watershed Science: A Broad Perspective Six Lessons Learned in Applying Science to Coastal Ecosystem Restoration Donald F. Boesch University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Cambridge, MD 21613 USA boesch@umces.edu INTRODUCTION The commitment of the state and federal leadership for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) stating that science will guide how to best restore the ecosystem and how much water can be exported is welcome, of course. Further, the invitation from the Delta Stewardship Council to the scientific community to indicate what is needed and how the scientific engagement should be structured offers an opportunity to pro- vide that guidance. However, excellent and internationally recognized science has long been generated on the Bay–Delta ecosystem and programs and structures to develop and apply science in Bay–Delta decision-making have existed for several decades. Is this new commitment to science-guided decision-making merely lip service or does it present an unprec- edented opportunity? If so, how can scientific engagement be more effective going forward? And, is the scientific and engineering community really up to it? Here I offer six lessons learned from 40 years of experience conducting and apply- ing science for the management and restoration of coastal ecosystems in many parts of the United States and internationally. In particular, I have worked many years on the Chesapeake Bay, the Mississippi Delta, the Florida Everglades, and the Baltic Sea. Recently, I was called on by President Obama to serve on the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling (Oil Spill Commission 2011). In that effort, I was on the other side of the fence, gaining rare experience for a practicing scientist in sifting though voluminous information to determine what really matters for making decisions and policies, and on a very condensed time-table. From these experiences I offer this advice to scientists, engineers, and technical man- agers on how best to take advantage of the opportunity available for science-based decision-making under the BDCP, recognizing that policymaking itself is outside of.

Boesch马里兰大学环境科学中心,剑桥,马里兰州21613美国boesch@umces.edu简介海湾三角洲保护计划(BDCP)的联邦领导层表示,当然,科学将指导如何最好地恢复生态系统以及可以输出多少水。此外,三角洲管理委员会邀请科学界指出需要什么以及如何组织科学活动,为提供指导提供了机会。但是,长期以来,海湾-三角洲生态系统已经产生了出色的国际公认的科学,并且数十年来,在海湾-三角洲决策中开发和应用科学的计划和结构已经存在。这种对以科学为指导的决策制定的新承诺仅仅是口头上的服务,还是提供了前所未有的机会?如果是这样,科学参与将如何更有效地向前发展?而且,科学和工程界真的做到了吗?在这里,我提供六项经验教训,这些经验教训是从40年来在美国许多地方和国际上进行和应用科学以管理和恢复沿海生态系统的经验中学到的。特别是,我在切萨皮克湾,密西西比河三角洲,佛罗里达大沼泽地和波罗的海工作了很多年。最近,奥巴马总统要求我担任BP深水地平线石油泄漏和近海钻探国家委员会(石油泄漏委员会,2011)。在这项工作中,我站在栅栏的另一端,为一位从事实践的科学家提供了难得的经验,他们可以筛选大量信息来确定对决策和政策真正重要的内容,并制定了非常紧凑的时间表。从这些经验中,我认识到决策本身是不可行的,因此就如何最好地利用BDCP下基于科学的决策机会,向科学家,工程师和技术经理提供了建议。
