sks for each step by priority
Review available information.
Define mission and goals.
Identify and characterize endangered fish stocks.
Assess status and trends of stocks.
Identify problems or issues.
Assign priorities by species or stock.
II. Strategic Where do we want 1. Determine specific and measurable objectives.
planning to be? 2. Identify strategies or overcome problems or issues.
3. Review opportunities for genetics management (Box 2).
4. Evaluate potential genetics risks.
5. Employ step-down planning (i.e., identify actions needed
by priority). Use tactical planning approach by answer-
ing "If and only if (this action is completed], then
[next action can be taken]".

Prioritize actions from step-down planning.
Determine resources needed to accomplish actions
(i.e., personnel, space, equipment, and funding).
Develop an operational plan with budget justification.
Document need in a Statement of Work.
Request approval of Statement of Work and funding.
IV. Evaluation Did we make it? 1. Monitor progress of actions.
2. Revisit status and trends of endangered fish species.
3. Evaluate actions to determine if they warrant con-
tinuation or if changes are needed.
4. Repeat the systems approach beginning with Step 1.
5. Document results and disseminate information to
Program participants.
