2009-2015 Strategic Plan
Introduction
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)
is dedicated to preserving, protecting, perpetuating
and managing the state’s fish and wildlife resources.
We do this by applying an underlying conservation ethic
to our work while providing commercial and recreational
opportunities that result in economic benefits to local
communities and the citizens of Washington state. Our
much-treasured quality of life in the Pacific Northwest
depends on healthy and thriving fish and wildlife populations.
As the steward of these resources, WDFW is committed
to continue building a solid and sustainable foundation
that supports both resource and human needs now and
in the future. To fulfill this commitment and achieve
our mission, WDFW will continue to:
- Identify, seek funding and fix ailing facilities
and infrastructure.
- Focus on developing partnerships with other agencies
and organizations, tribes and citizens that make us
effective and efficient.
- Educate youth and adults to foster a stewardship
ethic toward fish and wildlife.
- Seek policy support and stable funding to manage
the increased demands placed on fish and wildlife
resources in the state.
21st Century Salmon & Steelhead Initiative
Big challenges for wild salmon and steelhead require that management and recovery efforts be more strategic than ever. WDFW must: support the work of our partners to restore and protect habitat; ensure fisheries protect wild populations; and reform hatchery programs.
There wasn’t a blueprint for how to accomplish this all at once- so we made one.
WDFW formed a planning team-with expertise in science, habitat protection and recovery, hatchery management, fisheries, enforcement, and outreach-to build a new framework for 21st century salmon and steelhead management. The framework is a matrix of measurable outcomes critical for healthy salmon and healthy fisheries, against which salmon-related strategies can be judged.
2009 Information
Technology Portfolio
This document, the
2009 Information
Technology Portfolio,
identifies and updates
the investments in
information
technology (IT) held
by the Washington
Department of Fish
and Wildlife
(WDFW).
Adjustments to the
agency IT investment
portfolio occur
throughout the course
of the fiscal year in
the areas of hardware,
software, network
infrastructure, maintenance, and staffing.
The Department of Information Services (DIS) defines an IT Portfolio as a "compilation
of information about an agency’s investments in its IT infrastructure. The information is
organized to show how these investments support the agency’s mission and programs and
to demonstrate the relationships among current and planned investments. The portfolio
enhances the ability of key decision-makers to assess the probable impact of investments
on an agency’s programs and infrastructure, as well as on the overall state IT
infrastructure."
Accordingly, the purpose of this document is to allow the WDFW to manage its IT
investments in the same manner as one would manage other investments, like financial
instruments such as stocks or bonds, and real estate. The department recognizes the
business value of IT in allowing it to meet its mandated mission of providing sound
stewardship of fish and wildlife.
This Portfolio demonstrates the value of IT investments to senior managers in order to
prepare them and other stakeholders to make important IT investment decisions. Those
stakeholders include Division and Regional managers, the Corporate Data Oversight
Committee (CDOC), the Executive Management Team, the Director/Deputy Directors,
the Fish and Wildlife Commission, DIS management and staff, the Information Services
Board, and members of the Legislature.
