Abstract:	A science-based habitat planning program not only provides a foundation for making the best decisions possible and the flexibility of modifying them, but also fosters confidence and consensus from a public that has to both pay for and then live with the decisions made during this process. A scientific framework also provides consistency to the planning and management process through time and staff changes.
