ISRP final recommendation: Fundable
Comment:
The ISRP found the responses to be appropriate and informative. The nature of the collaboration and the roles of the collaborators were explained sufficiently to relieve previous uncertainties. Also, the list of accomplishments for earlier projects is lengthy and indicates that a fair bit of work has been done to assist with information available to managers and decision-makers. For example, results of the work by CTUIR was provided to demonstrate past outcomes based on presentation of quantitative information. WDFW primarily presented activities undertaken but few quantitative results were described. Even so, it appears as though the WDFW work is substantial. The sponsors have provided an improved description of the sampling protocol and the use of EMAP as a basic sampling approach and design - the results of which should inform future decisions and efforts.
