| E | 89872 | 141 | Produce Other Reports | 9.2 ISEMP Program Reporting | Beginning in FY10, ISEMP will expand the yearly programmatic reporting beyond the Annual Review to also include the preparation of up to three scientific manuscripts based on data collected and analyzed by ISEMP since its inception.
The ISEMP Project Annual Review Report is the capstone report for all activities that are separately contracted under this Project #2003-017. Prior to 2006, this reporting has been completed by reports prepared by individual contractors or has been accomplished through BiOp reporting. BPA managers and ISEMP coordinators and other entities have expressed the desire to have the complete program summarized in a periodically updated program review document. In 2006, a three-year review was created; since then, it has been updated annually beginning in 2007.
In this work element, Terraqua will produce the 2010 ISEMP Project Annual Review, a document that compiles and coordinates the reports of all ISEMP contractors from each of the three pilot subbasins and the umbrella group (Note: ISEMP contractors will continue to provide BPA with annual reports regarding contract-specific progress and work performed), describes all ISEMP progress in the past year of the program in relation to ISEMP proposed goals and objectives, and documents changes in protocols/indicators being monitored that have resulted from data collected. This document will be stored on the ISEMP web site and uploaded to Pisces.
Also in this work element, Terraqua will produce up to three manuscripts that will be ready for submission to peer-reviewed journals based on data collected and analyzed by ISEMP since its inception. Terraqua will coordinate with ISEMP staff to determine which analyses/datasets to report, the extent of analyses necessary for manuscript preparation, and for editing/internal development and review of manuscripts. As of May 2010, ISEMP staff have identified several areas where data analysis will likely lead to publishable results in the next six months. Completion of this work element will depend on other ISEMP contractors and staff to provide study designs, descriptions of methodology as conducted, complete data analysis to the point that results will be publishable, interpretation of results and conclusions, and editorial review of draft and final manuscripts. | $38,898 | 3.94% | 07/01/2010 | 08/31/2011 |
| F | 89873 | 174 | Produce Plan | 9.3 Wenatchee/Entiat Strategy Updates and Implementation Tracking | Terraqua developed strategies for the implementation of the ISEMP program in the Wenatchee and Entiat subbasins in FY05 and FY06, respectively. These strategies were developed as working documents and were intended to be updated as needed. Continuing changes in the institutional, scientific, and policy settings within which the ISEMP program operates within these two subbasins require that these strategy documents be updated. For example, planning and implementation of ESA recovery plans is on-going and is leading to large-scale implementation of restoration programs. ISEMP needs to ensure that its goals and objectives remain consistent within these new contexts and that ISEMP program elements will continue to meet the rigorous scientific needs of the larger ISEMP program within these two subbasins. Furthermore, local groups that cooperate with the ISEMP program, including the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board and its Regional Technical Team, look to ISEMP as the template for monitoring in the Wenatchee and Entiat and would like to adopt ISEMP's monitoring strategies for their recovery implementation work. For these reasons, Terraqua will review and revise the existing ISEMP monitoring strategies for the Wenatchee and Entiat subbasins within this work element to accommodate the changing institutional needs of ISEMP partners and subbasin management authorities.
Terraqua will continue to maintain and update the Project Tracking Tool developed since 2005 that serves to document changes to scientific study design that have occurred since the inception of ISEMP to assist project contractors in conducting field work and to assist ISEMP analysts in the interpretation of project data. This database will continue to be a "living" tool that will be periodically updated as necessary and will be electronically accessible to all ISEMP contractors and cooperators. This document will be updated and maintained in working draft format through June 30, 2011. | $9,994 | 1.01% | 07/01/2010 | 06/30/2011 |
| G | 89874 | 189 | Coordination-Columbia Basinwide | 9.4 ISEMP Pilot Subbasin Coordination | Implementation of the Project among the three pilot subbasins, particularly in the area of data management, analysis, reporting, and dissemination of information to other users in the Columbia Basin and states of OR, ID, and WA, requires close coordination of numerous entities who are participating in the Project. Terraqua will represent the interests of the Project at meetings of the pilot subbasin coordinators and will coordinate electronically and in-person with these coordinators and other entities that are developing data management systems, analysis, reporting, and document/conference preparation materials related to Project #2003-017-00. | $36,829 | 3.73% | 07/01/2010 | 08/30/2011 |
| H | 89875 | 174 | Produce Plan | 9.5 Protocol Development | Terraqua has been developing working scientific protocols for the ISEMP program since FY05, for habitat, and in FY07 for several other ISEMP survey techniques. These protocols were developed as working documents and were intended to be updated as needed. In FY10, most of the protocols are in a stable form and little change is expected in most protocols, with the possible exception of the redd survey protocol, which may need to be substantially revised. Also in FY10, budget constraints require that this task be moth-balled for at least one year. A small amount of effort (about 10 hours) is included in this release to insure that any issues regarding the existing protocols can be noted in the project tracking tool for subsequent inclusion when protocol development is refunded. | $735 | 0.07% | | 06/30/2011 |

| P | 89883 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | 9.12 Downstream Migrant Trapping Analysis | In FY09, we investigated fully three of the following five areas of scientific uncertainty, and partially investigated the remaining two areas. In FY10, we will complete investigations of the two remaining areas by running simulations that were not afforded under the FY09 budget and we will follow up with additional work in the third area that has come to light during work performed under the first release.
Results from FY09 and FY10 work will be incorporated the into one of the manuscripts described in WE E. 141 Task 9.2 ISEMP Program Reporting.
There are five areas of scientific uncertainty associated with downstream migrant trapping programs all of which call into question the validity of population estimates of outmigrating salmonids. Bonneville Power Administration and the co-managers of salmonid populations in the Columbia Basin rely heavily on these estimates of population abundance making the accuracy of these estimates of paramount importance to the management of salmonids in the Columbia Basin.
The five areas of scientific uncertainty include: 1) the relative performance of common statistical/ sampling designs; 2) the performance of common catch expansion methods; 3) the potential effect that daily variability in trap efficiencies has on abundance estimates; 4) the feasibility of using PIT tag-based abundance, survival and migrant timing estimates as an alternative to rotary screw trapping; and 5) exploring potential multivariate relationships for modeled trap efficiency methods.
This work element will investigate each of these areas of uncertainty and will produce recommendations on how to improve downstream migrant trapping programs to provide more defensible population abundance estimates. These five areas of uncertainty will be investigated in five steps. Our approach will be collaborative and will seek the participation of ISEMP partners involved in trapping programs in the Upper Columbia, Snake and John Day Rivers to have the broadest applicability. In addition, the results will be incorporated into the ISEMP Juvenile Trapping Protocol (2008) to provide recommendations to trapping programs on methods that may better meet assumptions with estimating abundance and improve precision of abundance estimates.
These five analysis steps were generated after the review of: Trapping programs throughout the Columbia River Basin (Tussing 2007); The Trinity River Trapping Program; The Implementation Strategy for the Wenatchee River Subbasin Monitoring (Nelle and Ward 2008); Recent trapping reports from the Wenatchee and Entiat River Basins; ISEMP Data Analysis Priorities for Fiscal Year 2008 (Beasley 2008); Recent research proposals for the use of PIT Tag Interrogation Systems (PTIS); The Field Manual of Scientific Protocols for Downstream, Migrant Trapping within the Upper Columbia River Monitoring Strategy (Tussing 2008); and discussions with ISEMP science staff and Upper Columbia River downstream migrant practitioners.
In Step 1, we will perform a series of comparisons on the relative performance of common statistical/ sampling designs to provide trapping programs with information that will help them maximize the precision of juvenile production estimates relative to river characteristics, migrant abundance, trap efficiencies, and effort (cost). In Step 2 we will build upon datasets and efforts from Step 1 and we will assess the performance of common catch expansion methods. In Step 3 we will explore the potential effect that daily variability in trap efficiencies has on abundance estimates. In Step 4 we will scope the feasibility of using PIT tag-based abundance, survival and migrant timing estimates as an alternative to rotary screw trapping; and in Step 5 we will address the Modeled Trap Efficiency approach by exploring potential multivariate relationships for modeled trap efficiency methods. | $32,675 | 3.31% | 07/01/2010 | 08/31/2011 |
