Based on this assemblage of oresent knowledge, we develop a proposed 

 comprehensive plan of management and designate desired goals and 

 uses. This, of course, frames the questions of feasibility of such 

 goals and uses. Reference again to our known data base identifies 

 the knowledge gaps -- the knowledge we must have to make oroper 

 decisions on uses and the knowledge which is needed for effective 

 technical management to provide for the desired uses. Identification 

 of these knowledge qans then leads rather directly to the development 

 of the most essential research and study programs. The results of 

 such proqrams augment the initial data base and orovide the required 

 information for both political and scientific management. This 

 sequence is shown diaqramaticallv in Figure VI. 3.1.
