Comment:
ISRP final recommendation: Not fundable
Comment:
The principal thrust of the proposed work is to determine status and trends of habitat, water quality, and fish. The proposal, however, primarily describes and justifies the sampling design. In effect, there are no methods proposed to accomplish the stated objectives. The parameters that will be measured are simply mentioned, the specific metrics and sampling methods are not given, and the methods of data analysis and quality control are not presented. The proposal was not fully developed.
State/province recommendation: MS: Recommended Action
Review group: MSRT
Recommended budgets: FY07: (n/a) | FY08: (n/a) | FY09: (n/a)
Comment: Although monitoring is a high priority throughout the CRB, a concerted effort is needed to prioritize what to monitor and where during the 2007-2009 period.
