Principle and Consequences Tim

Monitoring successes and failures need to be shared among agencies and researchers to aid others in nation-wide and world-wide stream rehabilitation efforts.

If practitioners fail to heed this principle, it could be detrimental to the entire field of stream habitat management.  Without researchers having access to past successes and failures they are forced into conducting their own research on the project (which might not be practical) or using a technique involving trial and error.  Having sound evidence to base practices and techniques on, give the manager(s) peace of mind moving forward with the project.They can also justify their management decisions with stakeholders.
