Final Council recommendation (Nov 2006)

Funding category: Expense

Recommended budgets: FY07: $1,800,000 | FY08: $1,800,000 | FY09: $1,800,000

Comment: Joint proposal from OR and WA. Funding conditioned on the sponsors completing their submission of information to the ISRP and IEAB to address the biological and economic issues raised in the recent ISRP/IEAB joint review (ISRP and IEAB Document 2005-8), and on a favorable economic review of that information by the IEAB within one year. One measure of success for this project will be equal fishing access by Washington fishers

ISRP final recommendation: Fundable

Comment:

The very good response to the ISRP review was detailed and informative, clearly indicating areas where success, improvement and collaboration may be possible or desired. Opportunities for partnerships in tagging and estuarine and plume studies should continue to be encouraged and supported. At a future review, an independent monitoring and assessment would serve to further substantiate the positive claims in the response such as in North et al. (2006). The reporting of results has been commendable and informative in recent years, with signs of adaptive management.
