FY 93 Annual Project Report
Colorado River Recovery Program

II. Title of Project: FWS Program Management

Ill. Principal Investigator(s): John Hamill, P.O. Box 25486, DFC, Denver,
CO 80225, [phone]

IV. Study Schedule: Ongoing

V. Relationship to RIPRAP: VII.A.I. Update, refine, and prioritize
recovery actions (RIPRAP) annually; VII.~.4. Develop annual Work plan
to address priority needs; VIIB. Actively participate in Recovery
Program committees and secure funding for annual work plan and larger
projects; and VII.C. Manage, direct, and coordinate Recovery Program
activities.

VI. Study Goals, Objectives, and End Products:

A. Goal: Ensure timely and effective coordination, planning and execution
of the Recovery Program.

B. Objectives: 1) provide staff assistance to the Implementation,
Management, and Biology committees and to the Service in implementation
of the Recovery Program; 2) ensure active participation by the Service
on technical committees; and 3) ensure sound management and
coordination of Service field activities.

VII. How is this study contributing to recovery? Are the study goals and
objectives being met?: Service Program management contributes to
recovery via overall coordination, planning, and execution of the
Recovery Program, The Program Director and Assistant Program Director
provide staff assistance to the Service and the Implementation,
Management, and Biology committees. In addition, the Service is
actively involved on the Biology Committee and in providing general
oversight and management of Service field programs involving the
Colorado River fishes. Goals and objectives are generally being met.
However, it appears that existing staff support (from the Program
Director's office and other participants) is inadequate to meet the
growing demands of the Program as it moves further from a primarily
research phase into an implementation phase. Management Committee
efforts to evaluate and improve efficiency and effectiveness of the
Recovery Program are aimed at solving this problem.

VIII. FY 93 Tasks and Deliverables:

A, Program Director & Assistant:

1. Monitor and report on the overall status of Recovery Program
activities.
