3.2 Methodology
In accordance with the PAPF, the development of this management plan involved a very high degree of stakeholder participation. This was designed to ensure that the eventual plan is both realistic and appropriate, and to build stakeholder understanding and support for the plan’s implementation. Three principal mechanisms were used to ensure that all stakeholders could meaningfully contribute to the plan’s development: the Core Planning Team, Stakeholder Workshops, and specialist Working Groups. The functions and membership of these participation forums are elaborated in Table 2 overpage. Actual participants at individual planning events are listed in Annex 2.
