Review Comments: The Puget Sound Technical Recovery Team (TRT) reviewed the individual watershed salmon recovery plans and the regional nearshore plan. The purpose of the technical review was to summarize what elements in the plans were well described and where significant technical uncertainties in the plans’ strategies or actions still remained. The TRT and Shared Strategy used the information from the technical reviews to explicitly identify the strengths and remaining gaps in the plans, and the means through which such gaps can be filled.
