Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Fund for one year
Date:
Jun 15, 1999
Comment:
Recommendation:
Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on programmatic review. This project does not warrant a separate proposal but should be included in a comprehensive proposal. This entire set of smolt monitoring projects needs to receive a programmatic review with one of the goals to develop and justify a program-wide design that really is capable of delivering enough data, of high enough precision, to answer the management questions.
Comments:
This proposal does not provide sufficient information for evaluation. Rather, it refers the reader to the SMP Umbrella proposal. The proposal should clearly identify the relevant background, specific objectives, project design, and provisions for evaluation. The smolt monitoring programs in the Umbrella Proposals: 20552, 20542 have been designed to work together to provide temporal and spatial information on juvenile salmon migrations. The projects employ state-of-the-art capture and tagging methods that are periodically reviewed for efficacy. Information from these programs routinely forms the basis for peer reviewed scientific publications that guide policy and research. Smolt monitoring programs such as this one, provide observations on smolt abundance and migratory timing that are essential in evaluating the status and efficacy of the Fish and Wildlife Program, the Hydro BiOp and Corps of Engineers Capital and Operating Programs. Implementation and management of the state, tribal and federal salmon recovery programs in the Columbia River basin would not be feasible without this or similar information.
