Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Criteria 1: Technical Criteria - Incomplete: This is primarily a watershed proposal and should be reviewed as such. The criteria used are insufficient to fully evaluate watershed proposals. The study proposes to monitor trends in survival and relate them to habitat improvements. These improvements, however, were initiated in 1986. There is no apparent way to establish a baseline against which improvement is measured. In addition, it is unclear how an upward trend in survival can be related to improvements in habitat in light of the myriad of factors affecting the life cycle.

Criteria 2: Objectives Criteria - Incomplete For reasons stated above.

Criteria 3: Milestones Criteria - Incomplete

Criteria 4: Resources Criteria - Incomplete

Comment:

The technical justification for this project is poor. If there are data going back to 1960s, they should have been summarized and presented in the proposal. Given the availability of historical data, the power of the proposed tests should have been determined. The proposal needs to take into account ocean productivity, drought, floods and other environmental conditions. The proposal does not show the relationship to other monitoring projects.
