Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Fund for one year
Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on programmatic review. This entire set of smolt monitoring projects needs to receive a programmatic review with one of the goals to develop and justify a program-wide design that really is capable of delivering enough data, of high enough precision, to answer the management questions.

Comments: The proposal justifies the need for the work to benefit fish. A clear relationship to Biological Opinion implementation is demonstrated. This work is related to other funded work and the linkages are well described. The objectives are clearly stated and related to the project activities. More details relating to the monitoring and evaluation of the results, scheduling of specific tasks and details of sampling design would strengthen the proposal. The smolt monitoring programs in the Umbrella Proposals: 20552, 20542 have been designed to work together to provide temporal and spatial information on juvenile salmon migrations. The projects employ state-of-the-art capture and tagging methods that are periodically reviewed for efficacy. Information from these programs routinely forms the basis for peer reviewed scientific publications that guide policy and research. There is little justification or description of design. It is good that they identify the location of sampling sites. The monitoring needs to be coordinated with analysis and research. Can we really measure the things we are hoping to measure?
