Comment:
Fundable. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Yakama Nation are co-managers of the YKFP. Project management is conducted through a policy group supported by a scientific and technical advisory committee. These joint groups are responsible for ensuring that all YKFP activities are implemented efficiently and effectively. This proposal describes WDFW participation in these co-manager responsibilities. The proposal is well organized and seems limited to the advisory role described in the text. The budget for FY02 is reduced from the forecasted level and remains very similar through FY06 (less than a 10% increase).
The failure of the planning effort to produce a solid experimental design reflects poorly on this project.
Comment:
CBFWA's review is consistent with the ISRP review and has been adequately addressed in the response to the ISRP for these projects. The Yakima Klickitat Fisheries Program (YKFP) is a collaborative, science-based resource management program. Funding of ongoing aspects should continue until complete.Comment:

No cost-share. This project provides for the management of policy and technical oversight of the Yakima/Klickitat Fisheries Project via the project's Policy Group and Scientific and Technical Advisory Group as delineated in the agreed-upon project management structure. Need to identify potential redundancies (see YKFP comments above).Comment:
