Improved access to data to support high level indicators for salmon and steelhead

Project structure Project core team – CBFWA, StreamNet, PNAMP CA Planning Group Initial focus on VSP abundance indicators Natural Origin Spawner Abundance Smolt to Adult Return Recruit per Spawner

Project History 2009 Anadromous Salmonid Monitoring Strategy (ASMS) Phase I workshop inventory DET developed Phase II Data technicians assigned to participant’s location to gather data with inventory DET ‘Strategy’ report spring and fall workshops

CRB Collaborative Data Sharing Strategy: Salmon & Steelhead Population Abundance and Productivity Indicators Improve infrastructure Encourage a network of data stewards Continue coordination Develop tools

Phase III Workplan Complete Strategy and submit to NPCC, BPA, and ISRP Develop list of prioritized projects supporting goals of Strategy Establish capacity to submit and share data in DET format Refine roles for CAPG, core team, and participating agencies Initiate routine sharing of indicators and expand to other indicators other than original three

Oversight and Direction Science Team Coordinated Assessments Planning Group DET Development Team Technical Team StreamNet Technical Group and staff Additional interested people/agencies

2012 Timeline Finalize DET – late Spring or Summer

2012 Timeline Finalize DET – late Spring or Summer List specific data elements that will be shared Indicator and metrics Explanatory metadata Clear definitions of each element Required format

2012 Timeline Finalize DET – late Spring or Summer Database structure – Summer Goal is an Exchange Network Will require new IT capabilities in agencies Temporary use of database

2012 Timeline Finalize DET – late Spring or Summer Database structure – Summer Data tools – late Summer Specific tools to assist agencies Tools to assist data transfer

2012 Timeline Finalize DET – late Spring or Summer Database structure – Summer Data tools – late Summer Begin acquisition of data in DET format - Fall

2012 Timeline Finalize DET – late Spring or Summer Database structure – Summer Data tools – late Summer Begin acquisition of data in DET format - Fall Expand to additional Indicators Smolt data, full life cycle Other VSP indicators Etc.
