Abstract
  • El ano 2006 representa en dos sentidos una fecha critica para la cuenca del Rio Columbia y para los esfuerzos de recuperacion del salmon y la trucha arcoiris en la region Pacifico Noroeste: el 25 aniversario de la creacion del Consejo para la Conservacion y Poder del Noroeste y el 10 degree aniversario de la enmienda al Acto de Poder del Noroeste, que formaliza el arbitraje cientifico del Programa de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de dicho consejo, asi como de sus proyectos individuales. Durante la ultima decada, los autores del presente trabajo fungieron como arbitros de estos proyectos. Los esfuerzos de recuperacion en el Rio Columbia constituyen una iniciativa muy importante en cuanto a la rehabilitacion de pesquerias y ecosistemas. En este articulo se examinan algunas lecciones aprendidas durante el proceso de revision de investigacion, monitoreo y evaluacion de proyectos y su repercusion sobre el avance del conocimiento (manejo adaptativo) en el Programa de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de la Cuenca del Rio Columbia, uno de los programas de recuperacion mas ambiciosos y de mas largo plazo en los Estados Unidos de Norteamerica.
  • The year 2006 marked two milestones in the Columbia River Basin and the Pacific Northwest region's efforts to rebuild its once great salmon and steelhead runs -- the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and the 10th anniversary of an amendment to the Northwest Power Act that formalized scientific peer review of the council's Fish and Wildlife Program and its varied individual projects. The authors of this article served as peer reviewers in the last decade. Restoration efforts in the Columbia River constitute a massive long-term attempt at fisheries and ecosystem restoration. In this article we examine some of the lessons we learned in reviewing the research, monitoring, and evaluation efforts of projects and their effects on advancing knowledge (i.e., adaptive management) in the Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program, one of the most ambitious and expensive long-term ecological restoration programs in the United States.
