Coordinated Resource Management Planning

Coordinated Resource Management Planning (CRMP) is a resource planning, problem-solving and management process that allows for direct participation of everyone concerned with natural resource management in a given planning area. The concept underlying CRMP is that coordinated resource management strategies result in improved resource management and minmizes conflicts among land users, landowners, governmental agencies and interest groups. Using this approach, resource problems are addressed and solved much more effectively because they are based on resource boundaries and are not constrained by individual, agency or political boundaries.

California has made their CRMP Handbook available on-line.
