Project History Began as part of Umatilla NPMEP activities Began as part of Umatilla NPMEP activities Established as a unique project in 2000 as CTUIR began to focus more resources on the Walla Walla subbasin Established as a unique project in 2000 as CTUIR began to focus more resources on the Walla Walla subbasin Established Walla Walla field office in 2001 Established Walla Walla field office in 2001

Walla Walla Basin

Monitoring & Evaluation Goals 1. Monitor status of populations and ecosystems early detection program early detection program 2. Life-stage specific survival the what, when, and where the what, when, and where 3. Natural and anthropogenic forcing functions the why the why 4. Evaluate artificial production programs Hatchery releases and out-plants Hatchery releases and out-plants

1) Monitor Population & Ecosystem Status: Are we on track? Egg, fry, parr, & smolt abundance Egg, fry, parr, & smolt abundance Spawner abundance Spawner abundance Habitat availability Habitat availability Community structure Community structure Ecosystem function Ecosystem function

2) Life Stage-Specific Survival 1. Spawner to egg 2. Egg to fry 3. Fry to parr 4. Parr to smolt 5. Smolt to return 6. Return to spawners 1. Fecundity & redd counts 2. Derived 3. Juvenile densities 4. Out-migrant monitoring 5. Ladder counts & CWT 6. Ladder counts and spawner surveys Age and growth monitoring applicable throughout

3) Forcing Functions Direct mortality: fishing, passage, and predation Direct mortality: fishing, passage, and predation Artificial production and out-planting Artificial production and out-planting Environmental variability: water quantity and quality Environmental variability: water quantity and quality Habitat alterations: disturbance and restoration Habitat alterations: disturbance and restoration Ecological changes: structure and function Ecological changes: structure and function

Monitoring & Evaluation Approach 1. Integrate variables in a georeferenced database 2. Expand data using geostatistical tools 3.
