Reviews and recommendations

Fundable - no response required
Oct 6, 2000
Comment:
Fundable. No further ISRP response review is needed. This well-written proposal deserves strong support. It presents a compelling argument for the benefits of an annual symposium to provide evaluation and information exchange on resident fish research. The proposal makes clear linkages to the FWP. The annual symposium would be a valuable contribution to the fisheries program in the Inter-Mountain Province and would produce lasting benefits for a relatively low budget. Based on the ISRP's site visit, fisheries management and research in the Inter-Mountain Province appears to lag behind the standard of quality exhibited in the province's wildlife management and research program. The resident fish symposium proposed by the Lake Roosevelt Forum could be an important organizing and energizing event for the province's fisheries program.The symposium in itself provides one means to monitor research progress and connectedness in the Subbasin; in addition the Lake Roosevelt Forum will monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its own approach. Plans to bring in outside experts as keynote speakers and plans to produce symposium proceedings (hopefully peer-reviewed), are particularly commendable. The annual symposium may be most effective by inviting presentations and other participation by outside experts with regard to such pertinent overarching subjects as restoration ecology and management, relationships of fish and wildlife restoration to human activities and attitudes. If funded, CBFWA should strongly encourage attendance and active participation (presentation or taking part in discussions) by all professional personnel involved in the Inter-Mountain program. Finally, we suggest that a one or two day 'continuing education' short course be a part of the annual symposium. For example, a short course on statistical sampling procedures with emphasis on vegetation sampling would be valuable in all of the terrestrial projects. Capture/recapture methods for estimation of population size would be valuable for both the aquatic and terrestrial projects.
The proposal itself, and the previous accomplishments of the Lake Roosevelt Forum, reflect the competence and vision of the Forum's staff. Mr. Dunau and Ms. Squier have extensive experience developing educational events that include public outreach, thus ensuring the success of this project.
Comment:
The symposium must also include wildlife issues in the Inter-mountain Province. Emphasis must be placed on attracting the general public, and agencies outside CBFWA. Most of the criteria developed for this review are not applicable to this type of project (i.e. information exchange)T1-this a an I&E proposal
T5&6-information exchange project M4-some cost shares not completed due to time issues (i.e., requests through appropriate boards).

Comment:
The ISRP urges funding the Lake Roosevelt Forum symposium proposal (proposal 21025). CBFWA prioritized the proposal as a "recommended action." While recognizing the value of the proposal, CBFWA suggested that the funding would more appropriately come from subbasin planning budgets. The ISRP (p. 54) said the proposal should be a high priority and "would help remedy some of the problems pervading the suite of fisheries projects in the Inter-Mountain Province."Staff recommendation:
Fund the symposium. The ISRP's review of the Lake Roosevelt management program has yielded increasing support for the scope of efforts funded by the Program. At the same time, the ISRP has encouraged the Lake Roosevelt project managers to seek additional peer review and insight into the unique challenges of that ecosystem. The ISRP's support of the symposium is central to their support of the suite of efforts in Lake Roosevelt. CBFWA's support of the proposal as at least a "recommended action" shows warmth to the idea and the Council staff encourage the Council to recommend this for funding.
