Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
N/A
Date:
Feb 1, 2001

Comment:

This proposal does not address imminent risks to ESA stocks by offering direct on-the-ground benefits with one-time funding.
Recommendation:
HP "B" -BiOp P
Date:
Feb 1, 2001

Comment:

This project is considered a high priority by CBFWA and should be funded immediately. However, this project does not meet the criteria for high priority as defined by the NWPPC for this process. This project is in the NMFS Biological Opinion as a conservation measure and will be required for handling adult salmon at mainstem dams.
Recommendation:
Date:
Feb 26, 2001

Comment:

Two… proposals were submitted in response to the High Priority solicitation that we believe are of such importance and urgency that we designated them as BiOp projects even though they were given a "Hi Priority - B" rating. These were, Support for the Development and Certification (FDA approval) of Effective Drugs and Anesthesia for Fish (proposal number 23004), and Reproductive Success of Naturally Spawning Wild and Hatchery-origin Spring Chinook (proposal number 23034). We urge the Council to recommend proceeding with these projects immediately.
