| Proposal Name: |
Chum Salmon Evaluations Within Bonneville Reservoir |
| Agency, Institution or Organization: |
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) |
| Short Description: |
Evaluate and expand upon existing data for chum salmon movement patterns, habitat preferences, and population dynamics within Bonneville Reservoir with the intent to establish a viable spawning population of chum salmon. |
| Information Transfer: |
Extensive work is being accomplished below Bonneville Dam with chum salmon monitoring and restoration. This proposal will build upon the efforts of Projects 199900301, 200001200, and 200105300. Research efforts will be coordinated with CBFWA's CSMEP program and all results will be available to any agency upon request. Data will also be made available to the StreamNet program for inclusion in their Independant Data Sets warehouse (http://www.streamnet.org/online-data/ids.cfm) and will be available for public download. Ultimate use will be to support the development of a spawning population of chum salmon above Bonneville Dam through natural/hatchery augmentation. |

Independent Scientific Review Panel Final Review (August 31, 2006)
[Download full document]
|
| Recommendation: Not fundable
|
| NPCC Comments: The new draft of the proposal has almost no changes to it, and the response, which was supposed to explain all of the shortfalls of why the original was not justified continues to fall short. Why funding for this activity should commence is still not justified. The ISRP's preliminary comments (June 1, 2006): The technical and scientific background establishes that a problem exists - a decrease in chum salmon abundance during the past century. But the technical and scientific background does not establish that this project is needed to guide management in solving the problem. There is no indication that this work is identified in a Fish and Wildlife Program subbasin plan or a federal recovery plan. Therefore, the ISRP cannot recommend the project for funding at this time. Any future proposal should develop the topic with much more detailed justification and evidence that much of the work has not been completed by prior projects. For example, habitat evaluation is going to be completed to identify sites for Duncan Creek like supplementation. Wouldn't information already exist in databases or the EDT analysis that was part of the subbasin planning process? The proposal could have been made more complete by describing the methodology and proposed outcomes of this study. |
