Sooo.... we bribe them? and keep records? I'm concerned that the concept of how bribery works was not clearly explained to someone.
Also, this seems to be a fine idea. But again, the devil is in the details. What is considered 'demonstrable effort'? Are CBs going to be tasked with that determination? No thank you, that is not audit-able. Is FSC going to publish a list of acceptable actions? Are State and Local governments going to be weighted differently? There's a lot to unpack inside of this idea.

How would agencies be influenced? Through research on BMP effectiveness? That research already exists. What then are other ways to influence agencies to use adaptive management regarding BMPs?

But if this could be met be specific actions toot sure how to make it auditable like Chris above) drive continuous improvemnt ein the BMPS and in increasing BMP compliance then (nit would help improve perfromance in th wooods and help reduce risk
