Recommendation:
Fund (High priority)
Comments:
This is a proposal to continue the fish and wildlife reporting system through electronic distribution. The proposal itself is weak. The programmatic need is not established. Detail on how information is gathered and presented is lacking. Quality control mechanisms are unclear. As with the other two proposals from this source (20029 and 20027), an assessment of demand for the service and a method for assessing the service's impact should be conducted. However, the newsletter has been in existence for one year and the ISRP, as one of the consumers of this product, notes that the newsletter is very high quality and frequently used.
