Comment:
Recommendation:
Fund (high priority). OK for multi-year funding; review on an annual basis for progress towards meeting objectives.
Comments:
Overall, this was a complete and well-detailed proposal. This program is integrally linked to a large number of other projects; together with 8805304, it serves as the backbone of the evaluation of the HRPP. Its continuation seems imperative for a successful program. The objectives and activities were clearly explained, even though this is a large and complex project. Past progress has been clearly demonstrated; feasibility and value of continuation seems very high. The progressive nature of this project warrants publication in peer-reviewed journals. They should have included more results of previous studies by ODFW and CTWSRO. They need better description of their sampling effort and sample size. Are the sample sizes large enough to test the hypotheses? Other areas the proposal could have better addressed include the methods under objective 1, e.g. how will the hypothesis be tested? What will be done under objectives 2 and 3? Under objective 9, statistical tests for comparing survival rates are not mentioned. When will this project be complete?

#1 objective/task overlap with 8805304 but activities distinct. Implements Obj 1-4.#3 92%BPA. #7 lost prior BPA investment. Need to maintain data stream for re-evaluate project in 2002. Becomes more important as populations listed.
