Box 3. Systems approach for genetics management of endangered and candidate fish stocks. <br />Step Question to ask Tasks for each step by priority <br />Inventory Where are we? 1. <br />and scoping 2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />Review available information. <br />Define mission and goals. <br />Identify and characterize endangered fish stocks. <br />Assess status and trends of stocks. <br />Identify problems or issues. <br />Assign priorities by species or stock. <br />II. Strategic Where do we want 1. Determine specific and measurable objectives. <br />planning to be? 2. Identify strategies or overcome problems or issues. <br />3. Review opportunities for genetics management (Box 2). <br />4. Evaluate potential genetics risks. <br />5. Employ step-down planning (i.e., identify actions needed <br />by priority). Use tactical planning approach by answer- <br />ing "If and only if Ethis action is completed], then <br />Enext action can be taken]". <br />III. Operational How do we get 1. <br />planning. there? 2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />Prioritize actions from step-down planning. <br />Determine resources needed to accomplish actions <br />(i.e., personnel, space, equipment, and funding). <br />Develop an operational plan with budget justification. <br />Document need in a Statement of Work. <br />Request approval of Statement of Work and funding. <br />IV. Evaluation Did we make it? 1. Monitor progress of actions. <br />2. Revisit status and trends of endangered fish species. <br />3. Evaluate actions to determine if they warrant con- <br />tinuation or if changes are needed. <br />4. Repeat the systems approach beginning with Step 1. <br />5. Document results and disseminate information to <br />Program participants.
