Request for comment on indicators
November 3, 2008
The Council adopted a working list of high level indicators on July 16, 2008. As part of the process for refining these high level indicators, the Council has developed a preliminary report of the implementation indicators available from PISCES’ work elements. This report provides information on how the relevant work element metrics entered in PISCES are rolled up to derive the Council’s high level implementation indicators.
The indicators will track progress in the general categories of land, water, passage, and screens (see links below). When completed, these indicators will be used in the Council’s annual reports to Congress and the region’s Governors.
We would appreciate any comments that you have in regard to this subset of the Council’s high level indicators.
- Are the data rolled up appropriately?
- Do the indicators fully utilize the information in the PISCES database?
- Do you have any suggestions about how to improve the quality or clarity of these indicators?
The Council recognizes that these indicators are not perfectly aligned with those in the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) administered by NOAA. The Council supports work to better align these two databases which will primarily require coordination between two federal agencies, BPA and NOAA. The Council supports this reconciliation process.
