The conference called together experts from <br />biology, technology, law, and the social sciences in an attempt to obtain <br />critical review of the draft report. Although the hypothetical situations <br />are not included in this final report, they served an integral role within <br />the dynamics of the conference by acting as a stimulus for discussion and <br />interchange of knowledge and oplnlons. <br />The conference had three major objectives: <br />1. To explore the kinds of information which will be required if <br />prospective fish and wildlife impacts are to receive appropri- <br />ate consideration in decision-making concerning Western water <br />allocation over the next decade. <br />2. To evaluate the extent to which that information is available. <br />3. 10 suggest specific research opportunities. <br />The conference sought to provide an atmosphere in which an exchange <br />of ideas and information between widely diverse disciplines could occur. By <br />including both research producers and research users, it was hoped that <br />perspectives would be broadened and suggestions for specific research needs <br />would be both more innovative and useful than otherwise possible. <br />Additional critical reviews of the draft report were submitted by <br />about two dozen persons. Their reviews, together with the comments and <br />suggestions offered at the research conference, were employed to rewrite the <br />entire report. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />~ :.1 <br />. . <br /> <br />;C(~:"::!'~i?::~t~;':~;::.>;:<'; <br /> <br />'1 <br /> <br />"! <br /> <br />.:.~.
