REVIEW:
ISRP Review (ISRP 2000-10)

Recommendation:
Not Innovative

Date:
Dec 15, 2000

Comment:

The proposal does not meet the requirements of an innovative proposal. It does not propose to develop new procedures and methods for estimation of spawner abundance with a design for monitoring and evaluation of results. The sponsors ask for funds to "Identify all available methods and technologies that would allow for accurate total abundance of spring and summer chinook salmon during the entire run." To be funded, this proposal should identify, discuss, and propose to evaluate an innovative procedure (or procedures) to accurately estimate total abundance of spawners. The proposal addresses a problem of critical importance in the basin, i.e. enumeration of spawning populations of salmon and steelhead. Innovative approaches are needed to address the problem. While the idea is commendable and ought to be pursued, it does not meet the Council's standards for innovative projects.
