Full Description |
Associated Subbasin Plan |
Strategy |
Page Nos |
| Achieve the quantitative objectives of the YKFP |
The co-managers are committed to balancing the current and future benefit/costs of fish resources in the Yakima Basin. This includes enhancing and conserving habitat conditions for long-term benefits, reaping current harvest opportunities through supplementation, and striving towards containing undesirable genetic and ecological impacts. To this end, the co-managers have agreed to quantitative objectives (described in the narrative) and have committed to monitoring the results within an adaptive management framework. Success of the YKFP will be judged based on the achievement of these objectives. |
Yakima |
1) Continue YKFP supplementation experiments and habitat restoration. 2) Monitor population productivity, abundance, and life history and habitat restoration. 3) Continue and enhance the YKFP programs for spring and fall chinook, and coho reintroduction. |

The YKFP will continue unless the following conditions are met:
1) habitat is able to support the abundance and harvest goals, 2) science objectives have been achieved, or 3) supplementation fails to meet objectives and the costs of continuing exceed the benefits of stopping |
| |
| Final Deliverables |
| 1) Peer-reviewed publications that answer the four key questions about whether supplementation can meet objectives
2) Restored and enhanced salmon and steelhead populations in the Yakima Basin that meet the quantitative objectives
3) Habitat that will support salmon and steelhead populations, and their associated species, in perpetuity |

| Comments: ISRP fundable qualified: ISRP recommends that the broader YKFP program be the subject of an organized program review. Project sponsor should consider focusing the next annual review for this purpose, otherwise review will need to occur as part of the next project review cycle. As Council has asked for in the past, a Master Plan is needed for fall chinook and coho elements of the project. |

Independent Scientific Review Panel Final Review (August 31, 2006)

|
| Recommendation: Fundable (Qualified)
|
| NPCC Comments: See overall comments for the five related Yakima/Klickitat Fishery Projects under proposal 19881205. Comments specific to this Policy/Plan/Technical (PPT) proposal: A key question is why this is a separate project from the 198812025 (YKFP Management, Data, Habitat). The work elements appear to be very similar if not identical (even including "Manage and Administer YKFP Activities). Because this is the WDFW portion of the administration component, it is likely relying on another counterpart proposal for some explanation. This points to the general need to have a broader program description regardless of sponsor. This project identifies its primary biological objective as "Achieve the quantitative objectives of the YKFP." The strategies identified as part of the Yakima Subbasin Plan are duplicative of other projects submitted for the YKFP. Although unclear for this specific project element, the project history was provided for the broader YKFP, which is extensive, particularly when viewing the long list of publications and reports. The objectives are listed but unclear how they differ from other broader project elements. Methods are more related to business and program management as opposed to biological. As such there is no real science to review here, although review is doable for the broader program. There is opportunity to explicitly set up hypotheses regarding habitat improvement. Some additional focus on how much actual on the ground habitat work will be completed would be welcomed. As the stated objectives are non-biological for this specific project, M&E are not amenable unless there is some actual habitat work being conducted (which is not obvious). |
