The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission is seeking public input on a draft Best Available Science Policy. According to a news release, the commission is asking for feedback on the policy until May 24. The commission has been working on this policy for some time and aims to finalize it in the coming summer.
John Lehmkuhl, a commissioner and chair of the panel’s Big Tent Committee, mentioned in a statement that the policy will be utilized in various commission and Department of Fish and Wildlife processes. He emphasized that public feedback is crucial in enhancing the policy to ensure that the best available science is utilized in decision-making processes.
The draft policy is a concise two-page document outlining how the commission and department should handle scientific information. It includes guidelines on avoiding bias when interpreting studies and utilizing social science to inform decisions. The policy also addresses scenarios where there are conflicting interpretations of science, specifying that information provided by WDFW should be considered acceptable and sufficient.
A link to the complete policy can be found on the WDFW website. Individuals interested in providing feedback on the policy can do so by submitting comments online or via email to bestavailablescience@publicinput.com.
