ABSTRACT
There are a number of “lessons learned” to take away from the Hamilton Harbour RAP experience: contextual lessons learned (don’t lose the original, learn from the past, creating a Remedial Action Plan); process lessons learned (get all the stakeholders at the table, good facilitation and well defi ned roles, science based writing team and task groups, value of senior level representation, good communication, and motivated people); implementation lessons learned (implementing structure, well defi ned work plan, accountability, technical teams and advisory committees, and project advisory groups); and communication lessons learned (communication with the public and engaging politicians).
