Projects
Project proponents can upload new projects or make modifications to existing projects using the GLAC IRWMP OPTI website.
In order to enter projects into OPTI, stakeholders must sign-up through the website, and apply to be a Community Member. It is highly recommended that new users review the User Guide which is accessible after log-in through the “Help” menu.
Submitted projects will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and will be prioritized at least annually for inclusion on the official project list for the GLAC IRWMP Plan.
