Figure 2. Management scales and actions.

An example is reported for three management areas in SRI. Assets in each management area are indicated by the number contained in each area (e.g., 1 is the SP, 2 is the PP and 4 is the military area). Thus, management area one has two types of assets, management area two has three types of assets, and management area three has one type of assets. At least one action for each asset is evaluated in each management area. The restoration actions are indicated as R_i(j),m (where, i is the action, j is the asset, and m is the management area). Same actions can be evaluated for different assets (e.g. nourishment) because different assets can benefit from the same actions. Only one action is selected by the PDM or by the MCDA model. The selected actions are called restoration interventions. The whole set of restoration interventions in a management area is called restoration alternative, and the set of restoration alternatives is defined as restoration plan.
