Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership PNAMP A forum

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

PNAMP Goals §Allow shared resources and data across organizations §Provide increased scientific credibility, cost-effective use of limited funds, and greater accountability to stakeholders PNAMP

PNAMP Objectives § § Technical forum to develop, coordinate and inform M&E programs Forum and process for communication to decision makers Clearing house for design, protocols, and data management Process to establish landscape/ecosystem metrics PNAMP

Watershed condition monitoring Project effectiveness monitoring Data management Estuary monitoring Fish population monitoring Other topics as interest merits

PNAMP 2005 Progress § § Charter finalized and signed by 19 state, tribal, federal, and regional entities Strategy Complete § § Identify key management questions Develop standardized metrics and protocols Identify regional efforts that are key components of a monitoring network 2005 Workplan PNAMP

PNAMP 2005 Progress § Protocol Comparisons § Watershed “Side-by-side Test” underway Summer 2005; Fish Protocol document under review § Universal Survey Design § IMW draft plan § Regional data dictionary PNAMP

Side-by-Side Protocol Test CA F&G $$ =

PNAMP 2006 Cross-cut tasks § § § Protocol standardization/coordination Inventory of monitoring activities Universal Survey Design for status monitoring Data Management High-level Indicators Facilitate regional Networking PNAMP

Next Steps § § § Increase involvement in technical workgroups Increase cross-PNAMP workgroup and interaction with outside groups, eg NBAW Support new coordination needs: large rivers? Share NBAW work on macroinvertebrate sampling with PNAMP? PNAMP

Supplemental Slides PNAMP

Watershed Condition Monitoring § § Protocol Comparison: “Side-by-side Test” underway Summer 2005 Universal Survey Design: under consideration for use by regional monitoring programs PNAMP

Fish Population Monitoring § § Protocol comparison publication: facilitate review of Johnson et al. Identify regional FPM RME needs and facilitate interaction with existing groups and programs (e. g. CSMEP; CRB pilot studies) Field protocol comparison tests Tagging, telemetry and marking techniques and design PNAMP

Effectiveness Monitoring Workgroup § § § Intensively monitored watershed (IMW) network Regional data dictionary for aquatic monitoring attributes Tools (including high level indicators) for reporting on effectiveness of projects Common sampling protocols for testing effectiveness of projects Recommenation for use of Protocol Builder and Protocol Manager PNAMP

Data Management § § Regional coordination workshops hosted by the NED, PNW RGIC, and others (e. g. regional QA/QC, regional spatial definitions, data networking, project management data) Data Management Coordination Plan, including interaction with existing entities, e. g. NED, IRICC PNAMP
