The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) held two workshops in the spring of 2011, a “Framing Workshop” with the Steering Committee in February, followed by a “Science Workshop” with very broad participation from the scientific community in April. The main goal of the Framing Workshop described in this report was to clearly define a decision support context for the LCC that could be used to structure and guide discussions about data and information needs at the Science Workshop. Having this explicit decision context also provided a basis for logically evaluating and prioritizing the identified science needs.
