Reason for change in estimated budget

This is a $47,000 (10.7%) increase from the 2000 projection spread over the 4 represented fish managers in the Joint Stock Project. The original projection was estimated while the storage facility and analysis system was still in the state of development. As data was compiled, a more accurate scope and budget to fill the data voids was developed.

Reason for change in scope

One of the primary goals of this project is to avoid having the database become a simple repository of information. Functionally it should sort the existing information and be used to drive the scope from year to year. The collection of existing information is beginning to drive the scope.
