It is a persistent problem that academic research findings are often not applied to benefit society and social capital improvement does not occur ex-post assessment. To solve this problem, I propose the following approach: (1) number of government should be increased; (2) government should create a structure being evaluated by willing to attend scientific meetings and publish articles in academic journals; (3) academics should reach out to citizens and offer them the opportunity to learn the latest findings about the environment; (4) government should make it possible to request multiple-year research appropriation; and (5) government should institute ex-post assessment systems in order to create feedback mechanisms. Collaboration among citizens, government and the academy must be established, and adaptive management should be put into practice with the goal of creating a sustainable, abundant society for future generations.
