restoration efforts to the TMC. The TMC interprets and recommends

Meeting Agenda
The TAMWG will hold a concurrent meeting with the Trinity River
Science Symposium/Decision Support System workshop. The goal workshop
is to advance the development and use of a decision support system for
the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP).
The workshop will consist of oral presentations and panel
discussions related to four key elements:
(1) Providing background on DSS and example applications,
(2) Communicating the status of DSS development for the TRRP and
how it can be used in the near term to support decision making,
(3) Identifying and initiating an approach to resolve key
organization and administrative challenges to DSS development, and
(4) Initiating next steps recommended by the Science Advisory Board
for implementation of a DSS, such as a workplan, schedule, and
identification of task leaders.
A detailed addendum will be posted on the TAMWG Web site (http://www.fws.gov/arcata/fisheries/tamwg.html) when it is finalized.
