A second requisite was that the roles and interests of watershed
stakeholders must be well defined to represent CEAM. There
must be a “framework or process in place that can be used by
the whole diversity of individuals. . .that would need to come
together,” explained one scientist. An EA practitioner expressed
a similar view, saying that for watershed CEAM to succeed there
must be “appropriate representations from the stakeholders, which
means that the major industries and ENGOs, the scientific community
and all of those groups have a role.” Stakeholders in the
watershed must “agree that this is the operating context and here
is the change we are willing to live with and here are the indicators
that are relevant to tracking,” explained another EA administrator.
