These materials are designed to facilitate discussions around long-term changes and planning that lake social-ecological systems may experience. We encourage you to use these resources to facilitate discussions with your organization members, your partners, and your leadership team. These discussions can focus on a specific, existing issue, or they could be used to direct preemptive planning. Let us know how they work for you. Contact: Eve Whittaker, eve.whittaker@asu.edu.
