SUMMARY:Fish Monitoring Work Group Meeting (January 2022)
DESCRIPTION:The PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (FMWG)\, meets quarterly to update participants on current FMWG tasks\, share expertise through presentations on innovative fish monitoring\, and provides you with opportunities to engage regional managers and experts. These meetings are an opportune time to discuss tasks and get input from members on where they see importance or could use facilitated support.

In this study we examined overshoot and fallback of John Day River summer steelhead by characterizing adult migration patterns upstream of Bonneville Dam with emphasis on the John Day River confluence; and identifying key thermal refuge areas downstream of the John Day River. In order to achieve these objectives\, we acoustic tagged 200 wild adult summer steelhead and deployed 35 acoustic receivers between Bonneville and Priest Rapids dams on the Columbia River. \nAgenda \n\n10:00 – Welcome and Introductions\n10:05 – Task Updates\n10:20 – Tech Talk\n11:10 – Q&A\n11:30 – Adjourn\n\nMissed a previous FMWG meeting?

SUMMARY:PNAMP IMW Management Applications Synthesis Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Read the Synthesis Report \n\nIntensively Monitored Watershed (IMW) programs have been active across the Pacific Northwest for over twenty years. These study systems represent one of the few opportunities to understand fish-habitat relationships at watershed scales and across multiple life cycles. This information is essential to salmon and steelhead conservation and recovery programs\, which annually invest millions of dollars in habitat projects and population and habitat monitoring. As IMW studies move into post-treatment monitoring phases\, preliminary take home messages can help natural resource managers\, policy makers\, and practitioners more effectively implement recovery and habitat programs\, as well as convey the benefits of long-term monitoring at a time when investments in salmon recovery are being reassessed at local\, state and federal levels. \nA small team of staff from the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership\, Snake River Salmon Recovery Board\, Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board\, and the Washington Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office worked with IMW program leads from study systems across the Pacific Northwest to identify lessons learned to date\, and to recommend applications from the IMW programs to conservation and restoration work. Survey questions on targeted fish population responses\, restoration action types and anticipated watershed responses\, and management and policy outcomes were distributed in summer 2021 to individual IMW program leads. Survey responses were synthesized in October 2021. In winter 2021\, three workshops with IMW stakeholders were held to discuss synthesized survey responses and develop management application recommendations. Workshop outcomes were published and shared broadly in 2022; see link to report above.

SUMMARY:ETIS Webinar Series - Aerial Monitoring of Aquatic Systems #1
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recording \nFeatured Presentations \nRichie Carmichael (Biomark) \nDrone Assisted Stream Habitat (DASH) Protocol: Establishing consistency and compatibility between UAS monitoring programs \nEffective ecosystem management relies on accurate and timely evaluations of environmental status and trends\, often equating to costly\, time intensive survey efforts. Rapid advances in technology are constantly improving sampling methods\, robust statistical inference\, and thus cost and time efficiency. Perhaps one of the greatest steps in broad-scale habitat and wildlife monitoring has been advances in remote sensing technology. The Columbia River Basin is a major target for habitat restoration\, working towards the de-listing of endangered Chinook salmon and steelhead. Multi-scale habitat characteristics are critical to understanding what defines quality habitat and where to focus restoration efforts. We developed the Drone Assisted Stream Habitat (DASH) protocol to collect data at the channel unit scale in a rapid manner\, which is then paired with multispectral imagery collected via drone. Thanks to the time and cost efficiency of drone surveys\, this approach can be easily applied to larger scales (tributary\, watershed) with minimal additional on-the-ground sampling. Furthermore\, we have developed tools that automate the post-processing of drone imagery\, substantially increasing the cost efficiency and ease of post-processing. This approach allows for the pairing of fish and habitat data at multiple spatial scales ranging from the watershed to the channel-unit. These data can then be used to populate fish-habitat models\, such as quantile regression forest (QRF) capacity models at any desired scale. In the Lemhi River\, Salmon ID\, we have applied DASH and QRF to define quality juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead habitat\, identify current capacity limitations\, and monitor the effectiveness of restoration actions. Taken together\, the two-pronged DASH and QRF approach is a comparatively inexpensive tool to prioritize\, direct\, and monitor habitat restoration in near real-time. \n  \nSarah Hoffmann (Biomark) \nMachine learning applications for conservation \nEffective management of imperiled species\, and the habitats they rely on\, depend largely on accurate and timely environmental sampling. These data collection techniques are often costly\, time intensive\, or impossible due to inaccessible habitats. Advances in remote sensing techniques\, especially the availability of unmanned aerial systems (UAS\, drones)\, have vastly improved the efficiency of data collection; thus\, the new bottleneck occurs at the data processing step. Image processing (orthorectification\, alignment\, photogrammetry\, data extraction\, and analysis)\, data storage\, and computing requirements are all documented barriers to entry for remote sensing applications in the conservation world. To address this\, we are employing machine learning techniques to automate the processing of imagery and extraction of data. Multi-spectral drone imagery is calibrated to generate absolute values of reflectance and eliminate minute differences between sensor capture timing as the drone is moving. A contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is applied to increase contrast and definition\, thereby improving application of classifiers. We employed both a pixel-based random forest classifier as well as object-based detection in order to classify water\, bare earth\, vegetation\, and woody debris. We are currently working to refine these classifiers in order to extract increased detail at the habitat level. Within the confines of a mask regional convolutional neural network model (rCNN)\, we are able train a variety of datasets\, including the ability to detect and track marine megafauna throughout the southeast Florida coast. Given the proper training data\, this neural network classifier is seemingly applicable to a wide variety of ecosystems and species. Our goal is to develop tools that provide real-time\, actionable intelligence to drive the recovery of imperiled species.

DESCRIPTION:Tributary PIT Tag Arrays in the Columbia Basin Workshop \nOctober 16\, 2018 12:30-5:00 pm\nOctober 17\, 2018 8 am-12:30 pm \nThe 2018 Tributary PIT tag arrays in the Columbia Basin workshop had 104 attendees during the two-day meeting held October 16-17\, 2018 in Portland\, OR. \nTributary PIT Tag Arrays in the Columbia Basin Workshop Notes \nRecordings of Presentations (12 presentation in a playlist)\, or check out the full PNAMP YouTube channel \nWhat is it?\nA free workshop to share and discuss current use of PIT tag arrays and best practices for continued use and data management \nWho should attend?\nMonitoring practitioners who use PIT tag arrays\, and data stewards and analysts who work with the resulting data. \nOur goals are to share information\, discuss current practices and standards\, and set the stage for later work toward assessment and optimization of tributary PIT tag array implementation. We will address: \n • protocols and standards for operation and maintenance of PIT tag arrays\, \n • protocols and standards for data management and communication of resulting information\, and \n • considerations for future applications of PIT tag arrays in the region. \nAnticipated Outcomes \n • Identify best practices and establish processes to ensure continued access to this information \n • Identify needs for future coordination among practitioners (topics\, participants\, mechanisms\, timelines) \n • Set the stage for future discussion of an optimized network of PIT arrays for designated purposes \n • Inform future operations and maintenance plans for equipment management and contracting \nWorkshop Logistics \nThe workshop will be held at USFWS Conference Room C\, 911 NE 11th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97232. We will also offer support for remote participation via web sharing. There is no fee for this workshop. Due to GSA building security requirements\, we must have names and affiliation of on-site participants in advance. There is no fee for this workshop.

SUMMARY:NOSA Steelhead Methods Review Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PNAMP Methods Review Workshop\nNatural Origin Spawner Abundance (NOSA) for Steelhead \nWorkshop Notes \nDate: Thursday\, February 22\, 2018 9:00 am – 4:00 pm \nLocation: GSA Building\, 911 NE 11th AVE\, Portland OR 97232 (Map)\, Conference Room C (Floor B1) \nAs part of PNAMP’s Methods Review Workshop Series\, this event is intended to facilitate information sharing and discussion of implementation of monitoring methods\, including field procedures and analytical methods. \nWorkshop Goals\nOur primary goal is to provide a venue for steelhead monitoring practitioners and managers to share their current approaches for estimating Natural Origin Spawner Abundance (NOSA) for steelhead populations. Presentation of experts’ latest work and subsequent discussion will lead to advancements across the community of practice. \nWho should attend?\nMonitoring practitioners and managers engaged in estimating and using Natural Origin Spawner Abundance (NOSA) estimates for steelhead populations. \nWhat will you get out of attending?\nYou will hear your colleagues’ best practices\, lessons learned\, and ideas for consideration. We expect these discussions will help point out agreements and inconsistencies related to methods and inform consideration of future methods. \nPresentations: \n\nWeir’d Science: Using Weirs to Estimate Adult Steelhead Abundance in Smaller Streams Ethan Crawford (WDFW)\nEstimating summer steelhead NOSA in Eastern Oregon: Redd surveys and probabilistic survey design Jim Ruzycki (ODFW)\nEstimating Steelhead Escapement in the Upper Columbia DPS Andrew Murdoch (WDFW)\nPIT-tag Based Abundance Estimation for Snake River Basin Steelhead Populations Ryan Kinzer (NPT)\nEstimating Steelhead Abundance at a Very Large Scale and Relation to Smaller Scales Tim Copeland (IDFG)\n\nFor more information\, contact Meg Dethloff\, mdethloff@usgs.gov.
