Comment:
Response required. These proposals [198805305 and 199800704] provide for ODFW to work with co-managers to implement the Grande Ronde Endemic Spring Chinook Supplementation program. The activities are largely related to operating and maintenance expenses for program coordination, the safe transport of juveniles and brood adults from field sites to the Lookingglass Hatchery, and assistance to the Fish Health Pathologist (USFWS). Minimal funds are requested for M&E but the activities seem more involved than would be provided by the limited M&E budget ($20,973 in FY02). A very strong cost sharing budget is included in this proposal: $3 million per year from the LSRCP for Lookingglass and Irrigon hatcheries, M&E and fish health inspections, plus $70,000 for the ODFW District Biologist. The activities are well integrated with the associated proposals (#199800702 and #199800703) and captive brood program. A response is requested, however, concerning the activities to be included in M&E (Objective 4, section 9f). What will be undertaken and how are the tasks to be addressed with such a limited budged? Is this proposal only including staff time for participation?Comment:
M&E is performed through LSRCP. This project is considered BASE by NMFS.Comment:
