IMPLEMENTATION SURVEY RESULTS -PROGRAMMATIC ACTIONS- Presentation to the WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Council November 19, 2009

DATA COLLECTION METHODS Survey Administered in 2009 (2008 actions) Same survey in 2008 ( actions) Polled WRIA 8 Jurisdictions Did not poll other implementers Survey asks: Is program being implemented? Does not address: Effectiveness of programs/actions Overlap of programs between jurisdictions

DATA ANALYSIS May be problematic to compare raw numbers between 2008 & 2009 Smaller number of respondents in 2008 Results analyzed differently between years 2008: Jurisdictions (by number) 2009: Jurisdictions, Population, and Land Area (by percent) 2009 analysis includes new element Program Ranking
