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. Scroll down this page to see associated meeting details.

PIT Tag Data and Analysis 2025 Webinar Series
Join us every Thursday from 10:00 – 11:30 AM (Pacific) starting April 23rd until May 22nd to learn or refresh your PIT tag data skillset. Each week we’ll have presentations from regional experts on how to use a variety of PIT tag data and analysis tools, repositories, and data systems. There is an optional 30-minute “office hours” after each session, approximately 11:30 – 12 pm. Presenters will be available for further assistance. Note, if there are no further questions during the “office hours”, we will conclude the session.
