Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Do not fund - no response required
Date:
Mar 1, 2002

Comment:

Not fundable. Much of this proposal is concerned with testing techniques. There is no assurance that the side scan sonar techniques will work in shallow water habitats. Nor is there any assurance that the DIDSON device will allow identification of fishes to species or separate salmonids from other fish taxa. To understand the importance of large wood as salmonid habitat, the work should be done in the context of an overall habitat assessment. The need and benefits to fish are not well justified.
