2013 Three Year Work Plan Review

(RITT), as the regional technical team for salmon recovery, perform an assessment of the development and review of these work Plans in order to be as effective as possible in the coming years. These work plans are intended to provide a road map for implementation of the salmon recovery plans and to help establish a recovery trajectory for three years of implementation. Given that watershed chapter areas are focusing efforts on development of monitoring and adaptive management (M&AM) plans over the next two years, the 3YWP process has been significantly scaled down for 2013. It is anticipated that the M&AM work will eventually replace much, if not all, of this process. The feedback below is intended to assist the watershed recovery plan implementation team as it continues to address actions and implementation of their salmon recovery plan. The feedback is also used by the Recovery Council, the Puget Sound Partnership and the RITT to inform the continued development and implementation of the regional work plan. This includes advancing issues such as adaptive management, all H integration, and capacity within the watershed teams. The feedback will also stimulate further discussion of recovery objectives to determine what the best investments are for salmon recovery over the next three years. Guidance for the 2013 work plan update reviews Watersheds were asked to respond to the following questions
