This is the ISAB's review of the draft Tribal Pacific Lamprey Restoration Plan for the Columbia River Basin. On November 9, 2009, CRITFC asked for the ISAB’s immediate impressions and suggestions for improvements to the Plan, rather than a detailed scientific assessment. This review is not intended as an exhaustive and comprehensive analysis of the state of lamprey science but is, as requested, an assessment of the Draft Plan intended to improve the next iteration of the Plan and subsequent implementation of its components. The ISAB understands that the Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP) has reviewed and will continue to review the various Fish and Wildlife Program projects that are proposed to implement the Plan.
