Project: 1989-062-01 - Annual Work Plan for Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority (CBFWA)
Review: Resident Fish, Regional Coordination, and Data Management Category Review
Proposal: RESCAT-1989-062-01

Approved Date: 2/26/2014
Recommendation: Implement with Conditions
Comments: An existing task of the project consisting of manager and Council input, focuses on developing fish and wildlife indicators (FWI) and aggregating related data to support the Council’s Program HLIs. Another task of the Foundation project, presents the FWI data in a highly summarized manner that is easily accessible to the public through the Status of the Resources (SOTR). The information gathered by tasks also may serve to inform Program implementation and evaluation needs including assessments at the subbasin and provincial level. The products related to these two tasks are important for addressing to the program’s evaluation reporting needs, and are critical to the Council’s HLIs report. For brevity, these two tasks are referred to as “reporting tasks” from this point forward. This work is currently under contract through FY 2012 (in this case, through March 31, 2013). PERC should determine and detail the future implementation of the SOTR and the development of the FWIs.

Council recommendation:
a. PERC should determine and detail the future implementation of the two reporting tasks described above – SOTR and the development of the FWIs.

b. The project also provides important historical project information through their website that is valuable to the Program and should receive input from Council and managers regarding maintenance and content of this web resource. The content of the website, including past project proposals, should be maintained as this is critical information for the Program and its coordination. Bonneville should provide a long-term storage and accessibility plan for the past project proposals.
