Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
N/A
Date:
Feb 1, 2001

Comment:

This proposal to conduct watershed assessments does not address imminent risks to ESA stocks by offering direct on-the-ground benefits with one-time funding.
Recommendation:
HP "B" S
Date:
Feb 1, 2001

Comment:

This proposal appears to be duplicative of the NPPC assessment. It is probably an excellent opportunity, but does not meet the current High Priority criteria.
