SUMMARY:PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group Meeting (January 2024)
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. The FMWG is also interested in your work; if you would like to present your innovative fish monitoring ideas or any recent publications at a future meeting please contact Meg Dethloff\, mdethloff@usgs.gov \nTech Talk: WATCH RECORDING \nPassage\, Predation\, Contamination and Supplementation: The Importance of Collaborative and Creative Research in Restoring Pacific Lamprey \nRalph Lampman\, the Lamprey Project Lead for Yakama Nation Fisheries\, will present “Passage\, Predation\, Contamination and Supplementation: The Importance of Collaborative and Creative Research in Restoring Pacific Lamprey”. Although awareness and support has generally increased in recent years for Pacific Lamprey restoration and research\, there are still many challenges for their recovery and numerous hurdles to fully understand the threats they face throughout their life history. In this presentation\, Ralph will share a few examples of recent collaborative research (in regard to passage / collection techniques\, molecular analysis of predation\, eDNA / eRNA / bile acid\, sourcing of contamination) that the Yakama Nation Fisheries and other Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission member tribes are currently working on to help make timely progress towards their recovery. Collaboration and innovation are essential in realizing this goal and we ask all entities and partners to seek and discover creative ways in which they can each contribute towards these efforts. \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 Fish Monitoring Work Group Meeting (April 2023)

These meetings are an opportune time to discuss tasks and get input from members on where they see importance or could use facilitated support. The FMWG is also interested in your work; if you would like to present your innovative fish monitoring ideas or any recent publications at a future meeting please contact Meg Dethloff\, mdethloff@usgs.gov \nTech Talk: WATCH RECORDING \nIntegrated Population Modeling of Grande Ronde Spring Chinook Salmon: Linking Dynamics and Habitat to Monitoring Data via SSMs \nBen Staton\, a Quantitative Fisheries Scientist covered some integration modeling he does with Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. Salmon populations in the Columbia River basin are monitored throughout their life cycle\, however many analyses that might inform policy decisions involve analyses of single or consecutive life stages. Taking this “separated” approach to life cycle analyses has several pros and cons\, but an important detriment is the hindrance of uncovering linkages\, correlations\, feedbacks\, and delayed effects among outcomes occurring at various scales. We developed an integrated statistical life cycle model for Grande Ronde spring Chinook salmon that simultaneously fits to multiple sources of information generated by routine monitoring programs including PIT tag-derived survival estimates\, screw trap passage estimates\, and adult return abundance. We simultaneously estimate the historical population dynamics of two juvenile life history strategies and two rearing origin types for each of four spawning populations. In doing so\, we have uncovered patterns of density-dependent growth and growth-mediated survival for freshwater juveniles\, as well as nontrivial correlations in process noise among populations at many life stages (i.e.\, better/poorer-than-expected years coincide among populations). Further\, the model estimates the effect of weighted usable habitat on parr rearing capacity\, which will be useful for modeling effects of habitat restoration. The presentation will give a high-level overview of the modeling framework\, the types of data it fits to\, the processes it attempts to capture\, and some preliminary findings. \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:Cultural Competency & Relevancy\, and Indigenous Knowledge Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Cultural Competency & Relevancy\, and Indigenous Knowledge Workshop \nPresented by ​Sammy Matsaw Jr.\, PhD​​ Pronouns: he/him \nTribal affiliations: Shoshone-Bannock and Oglala Lakota \nResearch Scientist for the Fish and Wildlife Department of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes \nIn the sciences so much is lost in communication\, when communicating is the heart of the work scientists do as managers and researchers in natural resources. ​The nuance in language is not lost in nomenclature\, taxonomy\, and so on; however\, in everyday speaking with people from different ideas\, backgrounds\, and ways of knowing there is a lack of understanding. In this workshop we will enhance awareness of biases\, communication skills\, and the disparities between cultural knowledges. This workshop is not a be-all and end-all rather a starting point for ongoing self-work and labor to sustainably lift one’s own awareness evolving towards social and environmental justice. Especially important when standardizing data that intersects with tribal data sovereignty\, and intellectual property based in Indigenous Knowledges. \n  \n\n  \nSammy is a father\, husband\, grandfather\, and extended family member amongst the Shoshone-Bannocks (enrolled)\, and Oglala Lakota. He is a pipe-carrier and Sundancer with both his mother and father’s tribes as a result of needing traditional healing from being a combat veteran. He brings ten years of military experience and leadership. Sammy is a co-founder of River Newe—an Indigenous owned non-profit that aims to reconnect intergenerational learning on land with tribal youth. He has a PhD with 10 plus years of science and management experience involved in Indigenous sovereignty and treaties with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes’ Fish and Wildlife department. \n

SUMMARY:Coordinated Assessments Partnership 2023 Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We invite you participate in the 2023 CAP Workshop. This workshop will be hybrid\, connecting online and in person participants for maximum accessibility. Please help us plan by registering for each day indicating how you will attend. \nWorkshop Purpose \nParticipants in this workshop will support CAP in providing quality data for regional assessments and reporting through efficient data exchanges. \nWhat to expect at the 2023 CAP Workshop \n\nRecap of progress since our last workshop in 2017\nFacilitated discussion via break out groups to gather feedback on specific challenges submitting\, accessing\, and understanding data\, such as:\nInformation is reported but not used: are we seeking the right information to be submitted? Are data consumers aware of the available data? Are improvements needed to the user interface aspect of the data portal to make it easier to access the data?\nInformation anticipated but not reported: when we see a “hole” is it due to fact that those data were never collected? Or is it due to lack of staff capacity to provide the data to the portal? Or some other reason?\nInformation reported but not documented sufficiently for reuse: how can we improve metadata documentation? How can we improve communication between data providers (biologists and analysts) and data managers responsible to publicize those data so that metadata are sufficient for data reuse and provenance is clear?\nDiscussion of the future of data sharing: how can we stay abreast of technological changes\, manage increasing demands for information\, and plan to engage with a broader community to develop and promote best practices at broad scales?\n\nOutcomes \n\nRecommend solutions to address data submittal and retrieval challenges (provider/user perspectives)\nIdentify strategies for collaborative approaches and funding to address needs and challenges\n\nAgenda \n April 12th\, 10 am – 4:30 pm \n\nWelcome & Introductions\nRefresher on the CAP structure and processes\nResults from the past 6 years and current tasks\nData Submittal issues: Discussion of challenges and solutions\nData Retrieval/Data User issues: Discussion of challenges and solutions\n\nApril 13th\, 8:30 am – 11:15 am \n\nWelcome & Introductions\nPreparing for the future of efficient data exchanges\nFuture of data mobilization\n\nFor more information on the Coordinated Assessments Partnership\, visit: \nhttps://www.pnamp.org/project/coordinated-assessments-for-salmon-and-steelhead \nhttps://www.streamnet.org/cap/ \nContact Jen Bayer\, jbayer@usgs.gov\, or Nancy Leonard\, nleonard@psmfc.org\, for questions or feedback.

The FMWG is also interested in your work; if you would like to present your innovative fish monitoring ideas or any recent publications at a future meeting please contact Meg Dethloff\, mdethloff@usgs.gov \nTech Talk: WATCH RECORDING \nPIThy: PTAGIS for the Unwashed Masses \nBrian Maschhoff with Salmonetics presented on the PIThy (PIT-tag Hypertool) is a web-based utility for processing and analysis of PIT-tag data from PTAGIS and (eventually) other sources. PTAGIS query export files are readily loaded and automatically processed\, removing extraneous information and adding derived and correlated attributes (such as temperature data etc. where available)\, and the processed data is presented to the user as interactive filter charts\, maps\, and fishtrack charts. The fully attributed data (or a subset) can then be exported for further analysis or archiving\, with metadata (such as PTAGIS and internal queries used) included. The design goals of PIThy include a) useability – requiring no installation and no programming\, b) reusability – facilitating PTAGIS data reuse and reproducibility within the broader community\, and c) facilitating the exploration and interpretation of complex and heterogeneous query result sets. PIThy development is at an early stage\, and many concepts in data attribution and archiving are not set in concrete but are rather put forward as starting points for further discussion. \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?

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.

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: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.
