Proposals

A Proposal is an application to continue existing work or start new work. While historically the Program solicited for all types of projects at once, starting in fiscal year 2009, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and BPA are reviewing and soliciting for projects that are similar in nature and intent. These "categorical" reviews started with Wildlife projects and continue with Research, Monitoring, & Evaluation (RME) and Artificial Production (Hatchery) projects.

    RMECAT-2009-004-00Proposal Version 1Existing ProjectPending BPA Response2009-004-00Monitoring Recovery Trends in Key Spring Chinook Habitat Variables and Validation of Population Viability IndicatorsThe proposal has two major components that are identified below: 1.Habitat degradation is attributed as a significant cause for the decline of numerous salmonid populations. The key objective of this proposal is to identify areas that have depressed populations within a sub-basin in the Columbia, and establish habitat conditions for these populations at various scales. Over the next 10-year period, various aspects of the habitat and fish populations will be inventoried, and treatment-control and before-after control impact (BACI) designs will be applied to both habitat conditions and population attributes (abundance and productivity) on these sub-basins. 2.The second phase of this project will be developed after baseline habitat data are collected and will focus on life cycle-based models for spring Chinook salmon. The approach used will develop life-cycle specific models to address life-history complexities, and intends to capture inter-annual variation in recruitment as a function of freshwater and early ocean/estuary variation. Based on data collected from the previous sections overlayed with life-history parameters, we will develop a quantitative modeling approach to estimate the annual variation in recruitment (and survival). This approach will probably use a collaborative effort with other agencies in the region (e.g., ODFW and NMFS) and tribes (e.g., CTUIR) that may have similar objectives.Bryan Mercier (Inactive)06/01/201007/08/2011Bryan Mercier (Inactive)Bioanalysts, Inc., Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC), Fisher Fisheries Ltd., Paulsen Environmental Research Ltd., Tetra Tech, Inc.ProgrammaticNoneRME / AP Category ReviewRM&E Cat.
