The methods or activities used to achieve these Aims are usually called Measures.

For example:

In a web-based tool, information from sixty restoration and rehabilitation measures has been compiled from the River Basin Management Plans of the countries represented in the FORECASTER consortium and information provided by the Environment Agency of England and Wales[2].
