The Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP) is hosting a workshop to support learning and information exchange among Intensively Monitored Watershed (IMW) stakeholders and discuss priorities for implementing the IMW network going forward. The two-day workshop will feature presentations of recent results and lessons learned from Pacific Northwest IMWs, offer insights into how well the IMW network is answering key management questions, and use breakout sessions to strategize for future success. We hope you can join us!
Workshop Objectives

Share latest IMW results and lessons learned
Discuss priorities for IMW network implementation and adaptive management
Continue work to improve communication of IMW results to diverse audiences

What is it?
A free workshop to share and discuss current use of PIT tag arrays and best practices for continued use and data management
Who should attend?
Monitoring practitioners who use PIT tag arrays, and data stewards and analysts who work with the resulting data.
Our 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:
• protocols and standards for operation and maintenance of PIT tag arrays,
• protocols and standards for data management and communication of resulting information, and
• considerations for future applications of PIT tag arrays in the region.
Anticipated Outcomes
• Identify best practices and establish processes to ensure continued access to this information
• Identify needs for future coordination among practitioners (topics, participants, mechanisms, timelines)
• Set the stage for future discussion of an optimized network of PIT arrays for designated purposes
• Inform future operations and maintenance plans for equipment management and contracting
Workshop Logistics
The 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.

NOSA Steelhead Methods Review Workshop
2018-02-22 09:00 - 16:00 | Portland, Oregon
PNAMP Methods Review Workshop
Natural Origin Spawner Abundance (NOSA) for Steelhead
Workshop Notes
Date: Thursday, February 22, 2018 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Location: GSA Building, 911 NE 11th AVE, Portland OR 97232 (Map), Conference Room C (Floor B1)
As 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.
Workshop Goals
Our 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.
Who should attend?
Monitoring practitioners and managers engaged in estimating and using Natural Origin Spawner Abundance (NOSA) estimates for steelhead populations.
What will you get out of attending?
You 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.
Presentations:

Weir’d Science: Using Weirs to Estimate Adult Steelhead Abundance in Smaller Streams Ethan Crawford (WDFW)
Estimating summer steelhead NOSA in Eastern Oregon: Redd surveys and probabilistic survey design Jim Ruzycki (ODFW)
Estimating Steelhead Escapement in the Upper Columbia DPS Andrew Murdoch (WDFW)
PIT-tag Based Abundance Estimation for Snake River Basin Steelhead Populations Ryan Kinzer (NPT)
Estimating Steelhead Abundance at a Very Large Scale and Relation to Smaller Scales Tim Copeland (IDFG)

If you’re interested in the other workshop materials (agenda, handouts, slide decks, etc.), contact us at gs-pnamp_contact@usgs.gov.

This workshop will provide opportunity for presentations from experts leading IMWs and focused discussion sessions about topics of interest to IMW practitioners. Presentations will include current information from IMWs sited in the Northwest, including from around the Columbia River basin, Puget Sound, Oregon, Washington and California coasts. Invited speakers include Phil Roni, (NOAA), George Pess (NOAA), Mara Zimmerman (WDFW), Nick Bouwes (EcoLogical Research Inc.), Stephen Bennett (EcoLogical Research Inc), Eric Suring (ODFW), , Bill Ehinger (WA ECY), Sean Gallagher (CDFW), Thomas Buehrens (WDFW), Correigh Greene (NOAA), Michael Newsom (USBR), Kirk Krueger (WA ECY), Chris Beasley (QCI), Brett Bowersox (IDFG).
We will also set aside time for breakout sessions designed so we can learn from each other by discussing progress and challenges and also to identify next steps PNAMP could take to assist those planning or implementing IMWs.
