OFA Now Available as an Interactive Website!

The 2010 update of OFA is available as a paperless, dynamic management plan allowing easy navigation to various topics and a searchable database of key information. This new format will give managers, researchers, partner agencies and organizations, and public stakeholders access to the entire plan or to specific segments via menu navigation or search tools. Website visitors can view regularly updated accomplishments and search for specific goals and actions as well as the status of each task. Lead partners are identified for each task in order to promote accountability. The online plan will also allow for the integration of an adaptive management process, the structured method for updating the plan as new information and understanding becomes available. This approach will allow OFA to remain current in the evolving process to protect and restore the Lake Champlain ecosystem.
