Brief History of GSI Funding/Research

• Winter/spring 2006- CROOS program was funded to
  conduct GSI research in OR
• April 2007- SWFSC/FED received 170 K to conduct
  GSI in Monterey Bay sport fishery (equipment
  upgrade support of field and lab operations)
• Interest and discussion continued through summer,
  e.g., Monterey Bay results presented at PFMC
  meeting
• August 22, 2006- PSMFC meeting in Portland, OR
  with GSI presentations by Lawson (CROOS) and
  Garza (GSI). Decided to have a W/G meeting to
  develop coast-wide GSI proposal to evaluate the
  potential application of GSI to ocean salmon
  fishery management
• September 14, 2006- PFMC meeting in Foster City,
  CA meeting with industry (IFR/ Zeke Grader).
  Discussed developing 3 yr GSI proposal (2.5-3M
  for GSI/ identified 150 vessels in CA and 100 in
  OR/ 10K per vessel to collect samples/ 6040
  split CAOR based on landings
• September 18-22, 2006- W/G meeting in Portland to
  develop 3 yr GSI proposal (fisherman sample
  collection-11M/ industry administration-2M/ GSI
  science-5.2M/ integrative science and
  marketing-2.8M/ total-22.1M/ 6040 CAOR split)
  
• January 2007- Lower cost versions of the proposal
  were requested by NMFS(10M and 5M). Included
  fisherman sample collection (50), GSI (25) and
  admin. and management analysis (25). Science
  objectives were inshore v offshore impacts on
  KRFC. N-S distribution of Chinook in SFO catch
  area and evaluate the potential for rapid turn
  around making real time management possible.
• April 12, 2007- Received 400K from NMFS to
  conduct pilot GSI research/ 6040 split CAOR.
  Science objectives to sample the April Ft. Bragg
  opening for data on stock distribution, and May
  and July fishery to obtain data on N-S
  distribution of Chinook in SFO catch area. CA
  budget allocated for NMFS/GSI (123K), fishery
  samples (88K), CDFG/scale ages (16K) and
  miscellaneous (13K)
