Abstract: Funds are requested to plan the implementation of a numerical model of pink salmon survival within a framework of long-term monitoring and resource prediction. The plan will be prepared by an interdisciplinary team. PWSFRAP will coordinate workshops, internet assets, conferencing, report and proposal preparation and submission and will facilitate information exchange between the resource dependent community and the planners. The resulting plan will identify a team of implementers, a design and schedule for field sampling, modeling activities and parameterization, data management and information protocols stipulated by GEM. It is anticipated that this planning effort will be followed by a multi-year implementation phase. When fully implemented, the pink salmon modeling program will become a functional component of the GEM whole-ecosystem model and responsive to questions of pink salmon production, harvest, management, and enhancement. This proposal is a companion to the interrelated ADF&G proposal (Moffitt: Management Applications: Implementing the Pink Salmon Survival Model-Tagging technology).
