Year Began: 2004
The PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group supports collaboration, communication and coordination among fish monitoring practitioners in the Pacific Northwest for effective monitoring and assessment methods and efficient data sharing. We also support the CAP and StreamNet Program by facilitating discussions among data providers and reporting/decision makers related to fish monitoring data sharing and reporting needs. Check out the FMWG Charter for more about how we function.
The FMWG meets virtually the third Thursday of January, April, and October, from 10-11:30 Pacific time. Each meeting will include a Tech Talk, updates on current tasks, and discussion of future needs. Task teams meetings are scheduled as needed by Task Leads.
