Recommendation: NA - Umbrella Proposal

Comments: This is an example of a complete, well-written description of an umbrella project. It lays things out clearly, concisely, and logically. It shows the importance of each of the components well. The only thing lacking, was a summary of the current escapement of salmon and steelhead.
