| A | 151928 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | ISEMP - Individual Based Life Cycle Model for restoration scenarios in John Day River basin | Assist data and GIS analysts in interpretation and statistical analysis of data. NOAA technical staff with specific GIS, Data Management and Statistical expertise will collaborate to develop novel data analysis products resulting from ISEMP data collection to date.
As designed, ISEMP data collection in the Wenatchee, Entiat, John Day and Salmon River basins represents a novel opportunity for the rigorous evaluation of salmonid habitat and population data to address resource management questions. Several key analyses are now possible, due to the ISEMP data set generated to date, and the recent advances in multivariate and spatial statistics. As an outcome of this work element, the annual analysis workplan for ISEMP and CHaMP is updated and integrated with regional analysis product needs.
This work element involves data analysis done to build and parameterize life cycle models in the John Day River basins that integrate tributary habitat quality and quantity data into fish population process metrics such as capacity, survival and movement. | $12,000 | 6.83% | 07/01/2016 | 06/30/2017 |

| C | 159784 | 183 | Produce Journal Article | ISEMP - Watershed classification system for the Columbia River basin | To support the design of large-scale habitat monitoring and restoration programs, ISEMP undertook the development of a watershed classification system for the Columbia River basin (the entire hydro region 17, that is primarily the Columbia River basin, but also includes the coast range). This watershed classification system is based on the immutable geomorphic and climatological characteristics of subwatersheds (HUC 6 grain), as well as the degree of human disturbance present in each subwatershed. Using multivariate methods, including PCA and clustering, we grouped the ~9,000 HUC 6 watersheds into classes based on their degree of similarity in natural features and degree of human disturbance. The resulting classification system has been used to support the design of the CHaMP study design and has been show to aide in the analysis of stream habitat data.
The deliverable for this WE is a final version of the classification system and description of the analytical methods by which it was generated, formatted for submission to a peer reviewed scientific journal. | $3,000 | 1.71% | 07/01/2016 | 06/30/2017 |
| D | 158501 | 70 | Install Fish Monitoring Equipment | Instream PIT tag antenna design, installation and maintenance | The ISEMP project uses PIT tags implanted in juvenile and adult spring/summer Chinook salmon and steelhead, in conjunction with extended length PIT tag arrays to estimate juvenile and adult movement patterns, survival, and abundance via mark-recapture.
The extended length PIT tag arrays consist of two sets of antennas, separated by a distance of approximately 5 m that span the entire width of the stream. As PIT tagged juveniles or adults pass the arrays the PIT tags are triggered to report an individual specific tag code. Due to the upstream and downstream antennas, the resulting information can be used to determine the direction of fish movement and the efficiency of the array.
Currently, arrays are deployed at the mouth of the major tributaries and in the mainstem Bridge Ck, SF John Day, Wenatchee, Entiat, SF Salmon and Lemhi Rivers. Seasonally, these systems must be maintained. Maintenance consists of regular visits to sites to check system function and to perform tuning and system overhauls. Periodically, flow events, animal damage or vandalism result in the need to replace components of these sites. This work element supports the system-wide maintenance, replacement and upgrading of the IMW focused ISEMP instream PIT tag arrays. | $84,000 | 47.78% | 07/01/2016 | 06/30/2017 |

These regional processes are of three basic types:
1. Planning / prioritization meetings with FCRPS BO coordination entities. These discussion will generally involve staff from BPA, NPCC and NOAA.
2. Regional technical coordination. These discussion are based on outreach, local / regional vetting and feedback, as well as technical collaboration. These discussions are organized by AMIP, ISAB/ISRP, UC and LS RTT, Lower Snake Comp Chinook, LGD coordination committee, PNAMP.
3. National science meeting. These discussion are based on outreach, professional feedback and vetting with the regional to national science and technical community.

| L | 151930 | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Produce CY2016 Integrated RME Technical Report for ISEMP/CHaMP | ISEMP will update the lessons learned synthesis report for FY16 by compiling the work of all ISEMP contractors (from each of the three pilot subbasins and the umbrella group), describing ISEMP's progress in FY16 in relation to its proposed goals and objectives, and documents changes in protocols/indicators being monitored that have resulted from data collected over the course of the program. This work will be coordinated by Terraqua Inc., and depends on the collaboration and input of all ISEMP contractors.
The 2016 ISEMP Lessons Learned report will consist only of an update to progress and lessons learned that occurred between reporting points (e.g., since last released project-level report). Descriptions of progress and lessons learned will only be included in the ISEMP Lessons Learned Report if not included in the RM&E and RPA reporting.
Background:
Since its inception in 2003, reporting for Project #2003-017 has been accomplished through reports prepared by individual contractors, an annual program-wide (project-wide) capstone report that collates the reports from each ISEMP pilot subbasin and the data management team, or through BiOp reporting. Also, in 2006 ISEMP produced the first Three-Year Review document, which provided a retrospective of the work that had occurred over the three years since ISEMP's inception through 2006. (http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/cbd/mathbio/isemp/documents.cfm). In 2011 BPA managers (and other entities) expressed the need to have a lessons learned synthesis report covering the entire period of the program. This synthesis report reviewed the relevant F&W Program management questions and RPAs that ISEMP was initiated to help answer. | $2,000 | 1.14% | 07/01/2016 | 05/31/2017 |
