Describe how those conditions impact salmon populations. Include current and historical factors important to understand the problems.
2. Describe the limiting factors, and/or ecological concerns, and limiting life stages (by fish species) that your project expects to address.
3. What are the project goals? The goal of the project should be to solve identified problems by addressing the root causes. Then clearly state the desired and future condition. Include which species and life stages will benefit from the outcome, and the time of year the benefits will be realized.

6. What are the assumptions and physical constraints that could impact whether you achieve your objectives? Assumptions and constraints are external conditions that are not under the direct control of the project, but directly impact the outcome of the project.
