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 a programmatic review of the supplementation effort in the Snake River Basin similar to the Lower Snake Compensation Plan symposium of February 1998.

Comments: This is the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe's portion of the Idaho supplementation study in the South Fork Salmon River, Bear Valley Creek, Valley Creek, West Fork Yankee Fork Salmon River, East Fork Salmon River, and Herd Creek. All test sites are in the Salmon River drainage. The role of each stream is not described and readers are referred to the umbrella proposal (which explains the methods at only a general level). ). No progress is described to so no project assessment is possible, although the project (or its parent project) approaches ten years duration. This is the same proposal as the other supplementation proposals except for budget, facilities, and named areas. The reviewers asked: Is there nothing unique about the different study sites that is worthy of mention? Why does the experimental design and statistical approach need to be repeated in each proposal?

Comment:

These projects provide a critical component for monitoring Spring and Summer chinook in Idaho, including supplemented and wild populations. These are ongoing critical projects and we recommend funding at the requested levels in order achieve management objectives in this region. See umbrella proposal #20545.
