STAC Recommends a Second Opinion

Report recommends use of multiple models to simulate conditions in Bay’s shallow waters

An advisory committee of scientific experts has released a report recommending that Chesapeake Bay Program partners use multiple models to simulate conditions in the shallow waters of the Chesapeake Bay.

According to the report, improving shallow water simulations of dissolved oxygen and water clarity could improve the Chesapeake Bay Program’s understanding of the impacts that on-land conservation practices can have on the living resources found in shallow, tidal waters.

In the report, experts from the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) note that shallow water conditions are the most difficult to simulate, due in large part to interactions between shallow waters, open waters and land...

A second, third, fourth and fifth opinion are good ideas in this.  We don't predict hurricane tracks using a single model, and we're still constantly surprised by the paths they eventually take.

My question is how the additional models will fit into the "Bay Diet" formulations.  Will farmers and municipalities be regulated by the model which is most favorable to their interests.
