SUMMARY:PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (October 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10:00 am (Pacific) on October 16th for the next meeting of the PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (FMWG). During the meeting\, we will update participants on current tasks\, hear a presentation about innovative fish monitoring\, and provide 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. \nTech Talk: WATCH RECORDING \nSalmon Research and Monitoring Interest Group – Introduction to RDA and Working Group Development \nPresenters: Lara Erikson​ (Program Manager\, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission) and Tom Bird (Research Scientist\, Fisheries and Oceans Canada) \nSummary: \nThe Salmon Research and Monitoring Interest Group (IG) within the Research Data Alliance (RDA) was formed to address the need for better data sharing and standardization in salmon research\, building on the synthesis paper Salmon Data Mobilization from the International Year of the Salmon (IYS) closing symposium in 2023. The collaborative efforts from an informal group looking to address the challenges of salmon data mobilization gradually evolved and cohered into a more formal Interest Group within the RDA. Salmon data are broad\, multi-disciplinary\, and complex\, encompassing data on salmon at various life stages (freshwater\, sea\, spawning)\, as well as related biological processes (prey\, predators) and physical environments (oceans\, rivers). A key recommendation from the IYS paper was establishing a peer support network to facilitate collaboration\, knowledge sharing\, and skill development in the salmon research community. With several collaborators already being members\, the RDA was chosen for its global community and existing infrastructure. Aims of the IG include expanding the current three chairs to eight across Atlantic and Pacific regions\, serve as a social network to link ideas across time zones\, learn from the existing RDA community’s tools and strategies\, and develop and share their own tools and processes within open spaces such as Zenodo and GitHub. The IG is a larger overarching group of members and collaborators under which smaller more focused Working Groups (WG) are formed which focus on outputs with clear\, short-term and specific goals. Thus far\, proposed WG topics include; salmon ontology\, salmon data paper synthesis\, biochronology of otolith and scale samples\, monitoring methods ontology\, migration timing data\, and long-term monitoring data. The salmon ontology WG in particular has made progress building upon a workshop held at the BC-WA Chapter AFS meeting in March 2025. The IG and the various WGs aim to foster a collaborative environment to tackle the complexities of salmon data for conservation and recovery efforts. \nAgenda \n\n10:00 – Welcome and Introductions\n10:05 – Task Updates\n10:20 – Tech Talk\n11:10 – Q&A\n11:30 – Adjourn\n\n  \nClick link below to join on October 16th \n\n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 269 941 573 156 3\nPasscode: bu3GL9Qr\n\n\n\n\nDial in by phone\n+1 207-387-0436\,\,797278667# United States\, Portland\nFind a local number\n\nPhone conference ID: 797 278 667#\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNever been to a FMWG meeting?

SUMMARY:Spatial-Stream-Network (SSN) Models Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:There will be another spatial-statistical-network (SSN) model training workshop in Boise\, Idaho this fall October 27–29 and that registration is now open (register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spatial-modeling-workshop-oct-27-29-2025-tickets-1474764533419?aff=oddtdtcreator). \nIf you are interested in attending (or have a student that is)\, they recommend registering ASAP because it usually fills rapidly once registration opens. If you’d like to come to the workshop but the financial arrangements with your employer will take time to set up\, please contact Dan Isaak\, daniel.isaak@usda.gov\, and they’ll try to hold a spot for you. \nSpatial-Stream-Network Models training workshop background: \nA class of spatial statistical network model for data on stream networks has recently been developed & free software is available for implementing the models. SSNs account for network topology (i.e.\, flow direction\, stream size\, tributary confluences) and offer significant improvements over many traditional statistical techniques that were developed originally for terrestrial applications. The SSNs are applicable to common types of stream data (e.g.\, water quality attributes\, biological survey information\, genetic metrics\, habitat conditions) through application of several distributions (e.g.\, Gaussian\, binomial\, Poisson). The models also account for spatial autocorrelation among measurements\, which makes them powerful tools for mining information from large datasets aggregated from multiple sources or sampling designs that are clustered and nonrandom. For additional details\, please visit the SSN/STARS (https://research.fs.usda.gov/rmrs/projects/spatial-stream-network) and National Stream Internet websites (https://research.fs.usda.gov/rmrs/projects/national-stream-internet). \nThe 3-day workshop consists of a 1-day short-course & 2 days of working with course instructors to apply SSNs to participant’s datasets. Note that attendance is limited to 20 students to ensure a high-quality experience and sufficient interaction with course instructors. Workshop registration is $700 for students/postdocs and $1\,000 for professionals\, which does not include lodging or meals. \nThe workshop does include: \n-Sharing of free software tools used to conduct SSN analyses (SSNbler for spatial editing with GIS software (https://pet221.github.io/SSNbler/articles/introduction.html#background) and the SSN2 package (from GitHub: https://usepa.github.io/SSN2/ or CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SSN2/index.html) for analysis in R) \n-Demonstration of data processing steps necessary to calculate the spatial information needed to fit SSN models \n-Demonstration of how the SSN2 package is used for: \n\nExploratory data analysis\nModelling continuous\, presence/absence\, and count data using spatial linear\, linear mixed-effects\, and generalized linear models\nModel diagnostics and selection\nPrediction (kriging) and block kriging (estimating totals for discrete areas)\nUncertainty estimation\nSimulation and spatial visualization techniques for streams data using ggplot2\n\n-Discussions of when spatial statistical techniques are most useful and the many new applications that are possible for stream data; \n-Working with instructors to apply the SSNs to your data \n*Note that a good working knowledge of statistics and the R statistical program are useful to obtain the greatest benefits from the workshop. Participants at the 3-day workshop must bring a laptop with access to R statistical software and a GIS of your choice (Recommended: ArcGIS Pro with standard or advanced license or QGIS software). For more background on SSN model theory\, applications\, and software developments\, up-to-date bibliographies are maintained at the SSN & NSI websites linked above\, as are example datasets and documentation associated with implementing SSN analyses.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Exchange Workshop Series 2025: Rewetting Our Waterways: Floodplain Restoration in an Occupied Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Rewetting Our Waterways: Floodplain Restoration in an Occupied Landscape\nNovember 18th\, 2025 \n9am – 3:30pm PST on Zoom \nAgenda below \nFloodplains are vital to the health of watersheds and we continue to learn about their role in shaping the habitats and ecosystems that Pacific salmon rely on. With our growing understanding of floodplains has come the emergence of different programs and projects designed to protect and restore floodplains for salmon recovery. Like all emerging practices\, floodplain restoration has had successes and failures. Intact floodplains are one of the most endangered habitats in our occupied watersheds and the loss of intact and restorable areas is accelerating. \nThis virtual workshop\, co-hosted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada\, Pacific Salmon Foundation and Washington’s Governor Salmon Recovery Office brings together experts to discuss how floodplain function has been altered by human activity and how those changes have led to cascading effects on our river systems. We will explore approaches and opportunities to restore floodplain benefits to Pacific salmon and aquatic ecosystems in modified landscapes and highlight examples where floodplain restoration strategies are succeeding. We hope you will join us! \nREGISTER HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_L8oTzHGdS2-vfVOb5TknuQ#/registration \nPast workshop recordings and reports: https://psf.ca/knowledge-exchange-workshop-series/ \nQuestions: Laura.Weatherly@dfo-mpo.gc.ca

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots from Forest and Estuary Management to Climate-Resilient Salmon - free webinar
DESCRIPTION:Northwest Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change Network\n\nUpcoming Webinar: Connecting the dots from forest and estuary management to climate-resilient salmon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, November 19\, 2025\, 11 AM–12 PM (Pacific) \nWhat: In this Northwest RISCC paired researcher-practicioner webinar\, Michele Buonanduci will present the findings of recent research into the impacts of forest and estuary management on the climate resilience of salmon in Washington’s Willapa basin\, including the impacts of Spartina eradication. Chad Phillips will then provide details about Washington State Department of Agriculture’s Spartina management efforts. \nRegister here! \nTalk descriptions: \n“Willapa basin salmon responses to land management in the context of climate change” — Michele Buonanduci \nAs climate change alters freshwater\, estuarine\, and marine habitats\, Pacific salmon need increasing levels of conservation action to maintain population health. Restoration is implemented within the broad-scale context of changing ocean conditions\, yet we lack an understanding of the relative extent to which land-based actions can contribute to the resilience of salmon populations under climate change. We addressed this challenge using an integrated population model of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in the Willapa basin (southwest Washington\, USA). We evaluated how chum population dynamics have varied with watershed-scale forest management\, estuarine invasive species control efforts\, and changing ocean conditions from 1984 to 2022. Overall\, our findings illustrate the capacity for multiple conservation actions to contribute to salmon population health and suggest that watershed-scale forest management has the potential to bolster the persistence of salmon populations under climate change. \n“Washington State’s Invasive Spartina Eradication Effort” — Chad Phillips \nSpartina\, commonly known as cordgrass\, can disrupt the ecosystems of native saltwater estuaries. If left unchecked\, Spartina outcompetes native vegetation and converts ecologically healthy mudflats and estuaries into solid Spartina meadows. As a result\, important habitat for salmon\, forage fish\, invertebrates\, shorebirds and waterfowl are lost\, the threat of flooding is increased\, and the state’s shellfish industry is negatively impacted. Since 1995\, The Washington State Department of Agriculture has served as the lead state agency facilitating the cooperation of local\, state\, federal and tribal governments; universities; interested groups; and private landowners. The Spartina eradication effort has been highly effective — reducing infestations from a high of more than 9\,000 solid acres in 2003 to 6.7 solid acres in 2024. 76 sites infested with Spartina have been successfully eradicated; however\, significant work remains. The remaining infestations are distributed over 126 separate sites\, meaning 62 percent of Washington’s 202 infestations are not yet eradicated. An emerging challenge is Spartina quickly spreading into and negatively impacting important salmon restoration projects in the North Puget Sound.

SUMMARY:NAISMA Webinar: Harnessing AI for Invasive Species Detection: Smart Traps\, Drones\, and Machine Learning in Action - FREE
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE-this is not a fisheries specific webinar but using AI and remote sensing is a rapidly evolving technique and can be applied across a variety of sciences. This information could help aquatic specialists explore new ways to detect aquatic invaders. The webinars will highlight how emerging technologies are being adapted and applied to meet the challenges of invasive species detection in the field—providing a glimpse into the future of smart conservation. \nJoin NAISMA this November for a dynamic webinar showcasing how artificial intelligence is transforming invasive species detection and monitoring across ecosystems. Through innovative applications like smart traps\, drones\, and machine learning\, researchers and practitioners are unlocking new tools to manage biological invasions more effectively and efficiently. \n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\nDr. Melissa Miller from the University of Florida will present her work on developing AI-powered smart traps designed to detect and remove invasive tegu lizards—large\, fast-moving reptiles that threaten native wildlife and agriculture in the southeastern U.S. Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller from the University of Exeter will share his team’s research on using deep learning models to detect invasive hornets in real time\, offering critical insights for rapid response and containment. Representing Ducks Unlimited Canada\, Matthew Bolding and Mallory Carpenter will discuss their efforts to integrate drone technology and AI to monitor populations of European water chestnut\, a fast-spreading aquatic invasive plant impacting wetland biodiversity and water quality. \nVespAI: Applying Deep Learning to the Detection of Invasive Hornets presented by Thomas O’Shea-Wheller\nThe invasive hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax is a rapidly proliferating threat to biodiversity and apiculture in Europe\, East Asia\, and North America. To date\, authorities have struggled to contain the hornets\, as colonies must be detected and destroyed early in the invasion curve if establishment is to be prevented. Current monitoring approaches rely primarily upon visual alerts by the public and surveillance trapping\, however the former yields less than 0.01% accuracy\, while the latter kills substantial numbers of native invertebrates. With the continuing spread of V. velutina\, there is thus a pressing need to develop improved monitoring technologies within a limited timeframe. In this talk\, I outline VespAI\, an automated system for the rapid detection and behavioural quantification of V. velutina\, V. crabro\, and V. orientalis. VespAI leverages a hardware-assisted AI approach\, combining a standardised monitoring station with deep YOLO architecture\, trained on a bespoke end-to-end pipeline. This enables the system to detect hornets in real-time—achieving a precision-recall score of ≥0.99—and send associated image alerts via a compact remote processor. I discuss the development\, performance\, and future deployment of the system\, and highlight its potential to enhance the scope and sustainability of invasive hornet surveillance at a global scale. \nThis webinar will highlight how emerging technologies are being adapted and applied to meet the challenges of invasive species detection in the field—providing a glimpse into the future of smart conservation. \n\n\n\nDr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller\, University of Exeter\nDr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller is interested in the complex interactions that govern collective behavior\, ecology\, and self-organization within social insects. As a Research Fellow based at the University of Exeter\, he works with ants\, bees\, hornets\, and termites to explore colony network dynamics\, social plasticity\, and behavioral heterogeneity in invasive contexts. His current research includes projects pertaining to honey bee epidemiology\, collective decision-making in ants\, and the detection of invasive species using artificial intelligence.
