In some sense, that might be the wrong goal anyway. Randomness is built into biological processes, so predicting a population is never going to be like calculating the interest on a bank account. The best we can do is use available science to make educated guesses about various outcomes. The models we use are not universally predictive in the sense that Newton's laws are; they are more like the weather forecast, says Dr. Miller. Managers have to decide how risky society wants to be with the future of a species and a fishery.That future looks a bit brighter this year, with the new dredge survey showing a population rise to 411 million. Perhaps with this latest data incorporated, we will be a step closer to a better mathematical model. Meanwhile, the crabs will keep performing their random walks across the bed of the Chesapeake, molting and spawning and snacking occasionally on their young, blissfully unaware of Valentine's game.Continue to develop business acumen Led various workshops identifying and supporting business case development for business priority projects Building of interaction lines with Senior Manufacturing Leaders through development of 3 yr Roadmap Support delivery of business capabilities aligned with RoadmapStrengthened business relationships through the CPV program.
