ISTM Habitat ISTM Habitat Update Database Objectives 1&2 Report Core Team ISTM Habitat GROSS Grant FY 2012 Municipal Stormwater Grants of Regional or Statewide Significance (GROSS) $189k to LCFRB and City of Longview Combine ongoing efforts by municipal stormwater managers in Southwest Washington with those led by PNAMP to develop an integrated status and trends monitoring design for the Lower Columbia region. ISTM Habitat Timeline Hire Contractor Phase 1 Workshops Phase 2 Workshops Phase 3 Workshops 2012 September October November December January February March April May Objectives 1&2 Report: Priorities & Programs Phase 1 Report (Obj 3): Gap Analysis & Alternate Monitoring Scenarios Phase 2 Report (Obj 4): Trade-off Analysis June 2013 Phase 3 Report (Obj 5): Final Recommendations

3 ISTM Habitat Questions? 5. Habitat Data Sharing Pilot with GSRO, regional habitat data sharing opportunities and barriers Relationships among macroinvertebrates, habitat, and fish productivity Macroinvertebrate standardized taxonomic effort GSRO pilot Are water temperatures in the region higher than 19 degrees Celsius? Is pool sediment greater than 20% fines? Is the in-stream volume of wood meeting the amounts described in Fox and Bolton s reference conditions for woody debris in WA? Example of assessment: Sharing of temperature data Characteristic GSRO Initial Question Metric to Address Question Notes Data Format Considerations Temperature Are stream temperatures in the region higher than 19 Celsius? 7 Day Max Average (typically reported as a rolling average for 7 days calculated each day, per site) Continuous monitoring is required for 7 Day Max Average USFS recommends that the logger be recording at intervals of an hour, longer intervals may miss actual maximum temperatures. We have not checked the periodicity with all potential data contributors. ISTM recommends we use calendar year (2011) as temporal basis. Our understanding is that the potential data contributors are already calculating this metric, or could do so on behalf of GSRO. GSRO will likely have to take the 7 Day Max Average data provided and apply the threshold of 19 C to produce a count, per site, per year (2011) of days where that threshold is exceeded. Can Data Contributor Provide Data in this Format? CHaMP Yes Clark Co Yes SRFB NO AREMP Yes PIBO Yes WADOE NO (grab sample only)

4 Relationships among macroinvertebrates, habitat, and fish productivity Next Steps? Expand mutual understanding of the ecological and monitoring opportunities and issues linking MI, habitat, and fish productivity List datasets with appropriate MI-H-F data and develop strategy to analyze Assess results with respect to framework and interest in an informative MI-H-F indicator Standardized Taxonomic Effort 6. WEB RESOURCES MONITORING RESOURCES OVERVIEW

5 ONLINE RESOURCES Data Repositories Store primary and secondary data from project and programs; PNAMP focus is to provide list of available DRs. MonitoringMethods.org Library of methods and protocols; share & reuse MonitoringResources.org Central webpage for integrating tools; provides guidance, details of users and projects/programs Metadata Builder -Will pull elements from each system Monitoring Sample Designer Support creation of sampling design; current- GRTS focus MONITORINGRESOURCES.ORG Account management platform single sign on for all apps Moved common content Mon. Programs, Orgs, Glossary Still many tasks not currently funded Program Implementation Coord. workflow of monitoring team (ex. Champmonitoring.org) Not a current PNAMP focus Salmon Monitoring Advisor - Will integrate concepts Monitoring Site Manager Maintain site information site char., evaluation, etc. USGS MONITORINGMETHODS.ORG Metric-method mapping Added Implementation Notes page Added a Request Publishing button that appears on Proposed Methods and Protocols MONITORINGMETHODS.ORG Training & Support o Respond to support requests from site & via phone/ o Publishing Requests o Training sessions with those that request it: o June IDFG o July Nez Perce Tribe o Working to develop additional guidance

6 MONITORINGMETHODS.ORG Reminder need Approvals for methods Allow one or more approvers for a Monitoring Program o Send in support request to add Approvers for each Monitoring Program o Start approving methods MONITORING SAMPLE DESIGNER & SITE MANAGER Continuing development; focus on GRTS designs Create Sample Design on live site now, available to logged in users When Approver is logged in they should see this on the method details page SITE MANAGER EXPLORER FEATURE Explore sites locate, find information about, and see regional monitoring projects displayed on a map o Completed summary report feedback from scoping o Development on hold depending on funding SALMONMONITORINGADVISOR.ORG Converted to new platform renamed MonitoringAdvisor.org Add links to outside resources; make terminology consistent Glossary merged with Monitoring Methods; moved

7 METADATA BUILDER PROTOTYPE Broadsheet of prototype presented to DMLT Will present prototype to Metadata WG in September; host meeting to discuss in late September/early October If you know anyone that would be interested in attending this session and is not on the Metadata WG or DMLT list, please let us know FUNDING New proposed scenario for funding of web development tasks MonitoringResources.org BPA proposing to contract directly for new development o Cost savings on USGS overhead Project management would be similar to current situation o PNAMP work with partners and participants to develop tools, features, etc. o Next steps line out details in contracts Still open to other funds supporting development of tools QUESTIONS? 7. Identify and promote best practices Validate data sharing Promote consistent documentation Help reduce duplicate methods in MonitoringMethods.org

8 At last SC meeting, outlined process Identify Topic Kick-Off Discuss Need identified during visit with IDFG o Measuring fish length all species and life stages o Is a method needed? YES o Identify which type of length is being measured Find SMEs and key players Post Findings to MM.org Discussion Board Plan B (and C, and D) How hard can it be, right? o Look for standard method descriptions to use in protocols Search for Documented Methods SME Review Anticipated Results Offered topics o PIT tagging, electrofishing, large wood, substrate, pool characteristics Lots of length methods in MonitoringMethods.org Various descriptions- examples: o Adult fish captured in the Lower Granite Dam adult trap will be measured from the tip of the snout to the fork in the caudal fin (forklength) in mm. o Length measurements of juvenile and adult fish are made with measuring boards or tapes according to methods described in Anderson and Neumann Measurements include total length, fork length, midorbital-hypural length, and postorbital-hypural length. o WDFW personnel will measure hatchery smolts from the tip of the snout to the fork in the tail in millimeters (mm). Hatchery and wild origin adults captured at adult traps or found during spawning grounds surveys, or hatchery origin adults from the program captured in fisheries (after the program expands) will be measured from the tip of the snout to the fork in the tail to the nearest centimeter (cm).

9 Pilot demonstration of simplified process o Method is fairly well documented in literature (AFS Fisheries Techniques, 2 nd ed.) Started discussion on MonitoringMethods.org o Background, questions for community, asked for input Follow-up decision, enter methods New methods cited from AFS Fisheries Techniques

10 Follow-up communicate to group Additional follow-up: ask other method owners to delete length methods QUESTIONS? Next steps o Encourage other owners to delete old methods o Encourage protocol owners to reference new methods instead o Resolve MEPS vs. mid-orbital to hypural plate issue o Finalize and publish new methods o Tackle next topic for methods review
