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 a 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. In the future, this should be a candidate for a multi-year review cycle with review required only if major changes are made to CWT tagging, recovery or catch estimation procedures.

Comments: The major decrease in funding requested (from $399,460 in 1999 to $110,586 in 2000) is due to work transferred to other projects or funding sources. However, one concern is the forecasted 10% increase in costs each year, compared to lower projected increases (e.g. 0% to 3%) in most other similar projects. It is not possible to comment on the other proposed costs without more detailed information of the CWT requirements and specific costs for applying and recovering them in this project. More information is required on the past success of this project. For example, is this project recovering sufficient numbers of tagged fish to successfully conduct annual assessments? See comments on CWT umbrella.
