1. A forum for coordinating state, federal, and tribal aquatic monitoring programs in the Pacific Northwest Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP) Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership

2. Many efforts in common, but no common effort

3. PNAMP Partners

4.  Robust and cost-effective information through improved coordination and compatibility  Provide increased scientific credibility, cost-effective use of limited funds, and greater accountability to stakeholders PNAMP Goals

5. Stream & Watershed habitat monitoring Fish population monitoring Project effectiveness monitoring Data management Estuary monitoring Other topics as interest merits PNAMP

6. Watershed Condition Workgroup Develop standardized set of protocols Use a probabilistic sample design Develop common GIS layers

7. $$ = PNAMP protocol test

8. John Day Basin July-Aug, 2005 12 streams were sampled by twelve agency and tribal monitoring groups (multiple crews). One day sampling per stream (similar costs) Stream width of 1 to 15 meters Stream slope of 0-10% Meadow to wooded A chance to work together and understand what the other groups were doing.

9. Master Sample Design  Creates a design that allows and facilitates integration up front rather than after the fact.  Current GRTS design allows selection of a “master” sample that can be subset to meet specific needs at a variety of spatial scales

10. What GIS/remote sensing data are available?

11. Interagency stream layer 2006

12.  Tree size distributions  Species composition  Snag and log densities  Forest and non- forest  Periodically updated Interagency Vegetation Map ( Wall-to-wall vegetation data)

13. Transportation Framework

14. 1 meter resolution aerial photography

15. In-channel characteristics “Green LIDAR”

16. Now what?
