5. Integration Coordination of separate and diverse elements into a more complete or harmonious whole

6. Placing in Context Ecological/Biological Socioeconomic/Demographic Political Agency/Interagency Programmatic/Financial Temporal (time-based) Spatial Combinations of above and more

7. Conservation Planning/Initiatives Water Quality Management Plan State Water Plan Forest & Watershed Health Plan Non-native Phreatophyte/Watershed Mgmt Plan Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy Outstanding National Resource Waters River Ecosystem Restoration Initiative WGA Wildlife Corridors Initiative Others

8. Recent Situation Numerous plans, strategies, and initiatives Varied stimuli, motivations, and expectations Extensive commonality of conservation intent Often single agency responsibility Tendency for parallel implementation Numerous less than integrated funding sources All face funding deficiencies Opportunity for synergy and cost-efficiency through integration

19. Some Questions To Ask Did FWHP incorporate salient elements of NSMP Watershed Restoration Action Strategies implementation plan? Did CWCS-NM adequately acknowledge concerns & priorities from NSMP, FWHP, NPWMP? How can SWP update best reflect context priorities from NSMP, FWHP, CWCS-NM, NPWMP, ONRW, AISMP, others? Where do key priorities best intersect (overlap) for focused action? What conflicts can be better addressed/mitigated proactively? Are there future options for plan/initiative consolidation? What are the cost-effectiveness options across initiatives?
