This review is accompanied by the version of the draft plan reviewed by the science groups. Staff is now undertaking revisions to the draft plan to address the recommendations of the scientific review.Upon completion of this work the revised draft will undergo a final review by the science groups. Upon completion, the Research Plan will be used to inform the Fish and Wildlife Program's FY 07 Project Selection process and as a point of departure for the convocation of a Regional Research Partnership.
