Contract Description:

Summary: The ISAB provides independent scientific advice and recommendations on issues related to regional fish and wildlife recovery programs under the Northwest Power Act, the Endangered Species Act, and tribal treaties with the goals of fostering a scientific approach to fish and wildlife recovery as well as ensuring the use of sound scientific methods in the planning and implementation of research related to these programs.

General Tasks: The ISAB will address scientific and technical issues relating to the Council’s Fish and Wildlife Program, tribal fish and wildlife programs, and the NOAA Fisheries Recovery Program for Columbia River Basin salmonids.  Principal activities include, but are not limited to, the following:

1) Evaluate the Council’s Fish and Wildlife Program scientific principles to ensure they are consistent with the best available science.

2) Evaluate the Council’s Fish and Wildlife Program on it... s scientific merits in time to inform amendments to the fish and wildlife program and before the Council requests recommendations from the region.

3) Provide scientific review of NOAA Fisheries recovery planning activities for Columbia River Basin stocks when requested.

4) Review the scientific and technical issues associated with efforts to improve anadromous fish survival through all life stages, based on adaptive management approaches.

5) Review and provide advice on priorities for conservation and recovery efforts, including research, monitoring, and evaluation and data management.

6) Provide scientific reviews of topics identified as critical to fish recovery and conservation in the Columbia River Basin.

7) Evaluate the scientific merits of plans and measures proposed to ensure satisfaction and continuation of tribal treaty fishing rights in the Columbia River Basin and other tribal efforts to restore and manage fish and wildlife resources.

8) Compare the various plans, strategies, analytical tools and methods employed by the Council, NOAA Fisheries, the Columbia River Basin Indian Tribes, and others related to the management of Columbia River Basin fish and wildlife to identify areas of consensus, disagreement, uncertainty, and opportunity.

In addition, the Council’s 2000 Fish and Wildlife Program directs the Council to work with the ISAB to develop a series of reports to survey past research and summarize the state of the science in key areas -- "State of the Science" reviews.  This effort may include the use of reports, journals, surveys, and conferences.

To the extent allowed by time and resources, the ISAB is responsive to questions and issues posed by the region’s management agencies and other parties.  Questions for consideration by the Board should be submitted to the ISAB’s coordinator.  The Council, Tribes, and NOAA Fisheries have agreed to use the existing policy making bodies within the basin to review work plans, schedules, and products for the ISAB.  These forums can also generate ideas and issues for consideration by the ISAB.

For FY 2008, the ISAB will work on a mix of long, medium, and short-term assignments of varying priority allowing for an efficient use of the ISAB’s expertise and resources. The ISAB will complete four reviews initiated in FY 2007: the impacts of non-native species on Columbia River Basin fish and wildlife management; Interior Columbia River Basin Technical Recovery Team’s gap analysis; the Council fish tagging review, and the Comparative Survival Study’s retrospective report. In addition, the ISAB is on-call for assignments from the Council, Tribes and NOAA Fisheries. These on-call assignments will likely pertain to science issues raised to inform the Council’s program amendments, work products of NOAA’s Technical Recovery Teams that inform Columbia River fish management, and mainstem passage analyses and experiments, among others.	$512,682	93.23%	10/01/2007	08/30/2008
