Background

    The TAMWG affords stakeholders the opportunity to give policy, 
management, and technical input concerning Trinity River (California) 
restoration efforts to the TMC. The TMC interprets and recommends 
policy, coordinates and reviews management actions, and provides 
organizational budget oversight.

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.
