Budget

  • Reduce time and effort spent on the budget process to allow time for ongoing science efforts
  • Future workplans should target its limited resources to the highest priority projects
  • Balance near- and long-term priorities
  • Maintain flexibility to respond to changing needs
  • Use more conservative budget projections based on recent performance of the Consumer Price Index
  • Identify funding for all work included in the workplan to avoid shortfalls
  • Clarify procedures and justifications in proposing and making mid-course changes to projects

Tribal Engagement

  • The GCDAMP/Science Advisors Program should explore ways to co-produce with Tribes a useful definition of what cultural resources require attention, and what approaches to evaluation will be meaningful.

Science Activities under LTEMP

  • Science in support of Endangered Species Act compliance with an emphasis on humpback chub, razorback sucker, and other native fish as well as the resources that support them throughout the Colorado River Ecosystem.
  • Science in support of compliance with the Grand Canyon Protection Act, in particular sediment resources.
  • Science relating cultural and archaeological sites to modern river processes, as well as the role of traditional knowledge in contributing to scientific understanding and river operations.
  • Science on non-native fish (population dynamics, control measures, and the recreational trout fishery) and potentially invasive aquatic species.

Science Advisors Program

  • Review the GCDAMP cultural resources program and work with Tribal members to identify how tribal perspectives and traditional knowledges can be better integrated into the GCDAMP.
  • Identify GCDAMP knowledge gaps to help guide the development of the next triennial budget and workplan.
  • Help organize and implement protocol evaluation panels with GCMRC as needed.
