Structure of Humpback Chub Gila cypha and

Ecosystem” Report.

complete its review by the next TWG meeting.

6/25/07: Reclamation (Mike Berry) will consider 

putting together a cultural symposium or a one-day 

workshop with the tribal stakeholders that brings the 

tribal viewpoints and tribal scientists together. It 

would focus on improving dialogue, creating learning 

opportunities, helping to recognize differences, and 

ways to bridge understanding among all the AMP 

stakeholders, GCMRC, and the Science Advisors. In 

addition, the Roles AHG should also participate in 

the symposium/workshop. 

10/2/07: Mike said no progress has been made 

because most of their efforts have been focused on 

finalizing Native American protocols and they’re 

attempting to finalize the Native American 

Consultation Plan and that will lead up to the 

workshop. 

12/4/07: Mike told Kurt the initial goal is to integrate 

compliance with GCPA and NHPA as a forum for 

integrating tribal values. Dennis Kubly said there is 

no funding in FY09 to hold a workshop. Mike Berry 

will provide an update at the next TWG meeting.

10/2/07: John O’Brien will send the Sediment AHG’s 

review of the BHBF Science Plan to the TWG before 

sending to GCMRC. 

12/4/07: John O’Brien said that everybody on the 

Sediment AHG was on the DFCAHG so he thought 

the DFCAHG report included the review of the 

sediment component of the BHBF. He said he could 

insert that if the TWG wanted to have a separate 

paper and thought it might be a cleaner way of 

dealing with this action item. John said he would do 

that for presentation at the next TWG meeting.
