Submitted for Fiscal Years 2007-2009 Funding through the
Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program PART 2. Recommendations and
Comments on Individual Proposals
ISRP 2006-4B
June 2, 2006 ISRP Preliminary Review of FY 2007-2009 Proposals Part 2: Recommendations and Comments on Individual Proposals This document is the second part of the ISRP's Preliminary Review of FY
2007-2009 Proposals. It contains ISRP comments and recommendations for
each of the 540 proposals submitted. Part 1 of the report describes the
ISRP's review process and criteria, recommendation categories, and other
information needed to best understand and use this portion of the report.
Part 1 also identifies programmatic issues that cut across the set of
proposals and are intended to inform Fish and Wildlife Program development.
This document starts with a table of the proposals that provides some basic
information on the proposal, the ISRP's preliminary recommendation, and the
page number for comments on the proposal. The table is organized by
proposal number. Summary comments on each proposal follow the table. These
start with mainstem and systemwide proposals (organized by topic) and then
are organized by province (from the Estuary upstream to the Mountain
Columbia), subbasin (alphabetical), and topic/program (roughly artificial
production, wildlife, monitoring and habitat). This organization is
intended to give a picture of all the proposed activity in a subbasin or
systemwide. The ISRP's comments and recommendations are also available on-line through
a table that can be sorted various ways; see
www.nwcouncil.org/library/isrp/isrp2006-4.htm. A page index by proposal number is at end of document.
