Objective 4: Provide a cooperative environment that encourages
coordinated action by all interested stakeholders in the Flathead Basin.
The intended outcome of this component of the implementation plan is a cooperative
environment that encourages coordinated activities among all interested parties
throughout the Flathead Basin. The key to this outcome is the creation of a series of
linked, relational databases along with the development of an on‐line forum with which
to share information and make it possible to easily access the Flathead Basin AIS work
group’s wealth of collaborative resources. Ideally, we would develop a system that can
accommodate both the general public and internal communication needs (two levels of
access to the information). The databases would include a funding database, a contact
and partner database, and a calendar database.
