WRIA 19 NOLT Habitat Conservation Planning

Hoping you are sharing your DIDSON and video clips with NPS and the Makahs. Really encouraging to see those images of many fish.

Great Job Again Mike !! Thanks for everything and I am inpressed ! !! Rob

Way cool images! Appears to be many fish cruising around. Are you going to get help from Martin Liermann to review the images and count fish?

Excellent job, Mike. This will be a valuable planning tool for WRIA 19 and a good example for others. Congrats!

Bruce, Thanks for commenting on the draft plan. Firstly, I want to point out this is a very preliminary draft, several portions of the document are incomplete, however, comments at this stage should really help to improve the next iteration of the document. You wrote, "...we need to show somewhere plain and easy in docs what these acronyms (NOPLE, WRIA, WRIA19, etc.) are abbreviating." Please note that on page 7 (pdf page number, document page number vii) is the list of acronyms/abbreviations used. Any suggestion(s) you might have to make the location of this list clearer to the reader would be appreciated. You wrote, "Also, don't have "cross" symbol used in security code on my computer keyboard" I'm not sure what you are referring to with this comment. There were some software conflicts in the conversion of the document from Word to PDF, this was resolved on Monday. If you would like I can post the latest version of the document converted from Adobe Acrobat 10 Professional. If you are referring to the webpage I think the cross symbol is a lower case t in the default font. Thanks again for your comments, Mike

Mike, I really like what you're doing here for NOLT. About only comment can add is that we need to show somewhere plain and easy in docs what these acronyms (NOPLE, WRIA, WRIA19, etc.) are abbreviating. Doesn't seem reasonable to expect a sizable part of our target audience to know some of this stuff, and therefore, lose interest maybe from the first page without a nearby glossary (asterisked) to show what they stand for. Also, don't have "cross" symbol used in security code on my computer keyboard. Good job though, thanks, Bruce

Mike, I think you're doing a great job on the conservation planning. I am particularly impressed with the coho scalar you developed as a way to incorporate fish use into the prioritization. Also, the link on your website with all presentations, meeting notes and now a comment option are a wonderful contribution to this stakeholder process, making the data that much more accessible to everyone.
