Community support and project monitoring and evaluation $132,380

In FY1999-2000, this program was developed to provide technical support and assistance to community organizations in developing, planning and implementing fisheries projects. Two 'fisheries extension officers' were hired under this program, and proved to be extremely popular and welcome among community groups and effective in assisting groups to develop biologically-sound project plans.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada has contributed $70,000. to the CKFRP for 'stewardship coordinators'. The responsibilities of the stewardship coordinators are very similar to the existing 'fisheries extension officers' and the partnership steering committee has decided to employ the individuals initially contracted to provide extension services as 'stewardship coordinators.' The additional FsRBC and CBT funding ($26,126. in total) will allow us to hire 2 stewardship coordinators (Upper Columbia and Kootenay watersheds) as opposed to the one which we could support with FOC funding.
