Comment:
Recommendation:
Fund. The project appears to be adequate for multiyear funding for its duration through 2001, subject to contractually agreed upon deliverables.
Comments:
This proposal is for work that will provide important information on the seasonal distribution and life history characteristics of bull trout and redband trout in the Malheur River Basin. This information is critical for the management and protection of these particularly sensitive native salmonids. It is a parallel project to 9701900, and the same comments apply: It shows evidence of coordinated planning. There is a good relation between objectives and tasks and between methods and findings of earlier studies. Good use of technology. Good budget explanation. The information transfer goes beyond "presenting results at meetings" to show how findings will benefit management. This project shows good coordination, cost-sharing and integration with other projects and agencies.
