Another example of improved coordination is a measure from the Strategy 

 for Sahnon calling for an Expanded Implementation Planning Process. 

 Modeled similar to the concept of the Bonneville-Columbia Basin Fish and 

 Wildlife Authority Implementation Planning Process, the Expanded 

 Implementation Planning Process is envisioned as a forum within which 

 implementing/funding agencies, fish and wildlife agencies, and land 

 management agencies can coordinate their activities with attendant funding 

 to mutually support each other's eflForts, eliminate duplication, and avoid 

 gaps in addressing salmon restoration. This fall, we will be contacting the 

 appropriate agencies to begin the development of the Expanded 

 Implementation Planning Process.
