Abstract: This proposal contains the overview of a coordinated set of ten proposals from multiple organizations that are designed to address the Herring Surveys section of the Invitation for Proposals. It describes how individual components are being integrated to provide information needed to make informed decisions on herring restoration. The objectives of the integrated herring survey program are: 1) Identify juvenile rearing bays for use in restoration planning. 2) Measure factors that may limit the success of herring recruitment including factors of oceanographic conditions, food availability, disease, overwinter energetics of juvenile herring, and predation. 3) Provide protocols and recommendations for spatial and temporal coverage of monitoring projects for potential inclusion in the core herring restoration effort. This proposal describes the community involvement and outreach efforts, the integration of programs, sharing of logistics, and the responsibility for developing the final synthesized report.
