Interpreting the findings “Synthesis” workshop Summary document of “overarching lessons learned”

3 main questions How are BMPs improving water quality? How can we apply what we’ve learned about BMPs to improve water quality? How can we use adaptive management to reduce uncertainty and improve the implementation of BMPs?

How are BMP practices improving water quality? Significant improvements can be attributed to reductions in point source nutrient discharges Results from the implementation of nonpoint source (NPS) BMPs vary in the extent of reduction and improvements The majority of NPS BMPs will take years to improve water quality in both the watershed and the estuary

How can we apply what we’ve learned about BMPs to improve water quality? BMPs must be focused (both type and location) to address the main sources of water quality impairment The amount of BMPs implemented should be sufficient to match the scale of the problem Improvements in water quality as a result of BMPs may be offset by increasing nutrients in other sources

How can we use adaptive management? Enhance models for targeting of BMP implementation Enhance monitoring of BMPs and water quality and habitat responses Better understanding of lessons learned from past BMP projects and the application of those lessons through adaptive management
