In this 11-page report, the Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP) and Independent Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB) identify for the Council, Council staff, and regional managers, the critical uncertainties of supplementation, outline monitoring data needed to evaluate supplementation, and provide options for coordinating projects throughout the basin to produce an experimental design sufficient to resolve these uncertainties.
The genesis for the report is conversations with the Council when the ISRP Retrospective Report was presented in Spokane on September 14, 2005, and questions that have arisen in recent three-step reviews of Master Plans that include supplementation projects.
The ISRP and ISAB intend that this information will serve to assist in evaluating the effectiveness of this Fish and Wildlife Program strategy at the subbasin (project), provincial, and basin level.
