| F | 172814 | 160 | Create/Manage/Maintain Database | Update and Maintain Accords Database (ongoing) | Member tribes have asked CRITFC to maintain an Accords/Remand database to facilitate storage, access, and management of expected and actual benefits derived from Accords projects. The Accords describe expected benefits for fish populations in terms of expected improvement in the egg/smolt survival stage of the anadromous salmonid lifecycle. The Accords also describe expected gains in watershed functionality, but do not specify methodologies or performance standards to be used to measure this change. The number of smolts per spawner is an initial fish metric that the Tribal Data Network proposes to coordinate and assist tribes in producing. The individual tribes have indicated that they will be responsible for monitoring in the tributaries. From a data perspective, the number of smolts per spawner is a metric that could provide an excellent opportunity to detect changes due to tributary habitat improvement, excluding the effects of the hydrosystem. Metrics and indicators such as Smolt to Adult Ratios (SARs), adult to adult ratios, and adult abundance will be influenced by survival through the hydrosystem and ocean stages of the anadromous salmonid lifecycle. The Fish Passage Center, Columbia Basin Research, and individual member tribes will be calculate SARs complementary to the opportunistic data management focus of the Inter-Tribal Monitoring Data Project. We have proposed to the tribes that they consider the number of smolts per spawner as a metric with a very fast Return On Investment (ROI) and therefore the best cost/benefit ratio to use when evaluating the fish response to changes in tributary habitat, particularly due to Accords funded mitigation projects. However, that is not the role of this project, this project assists the tribes with technical work, not with policy work. The current direction of the tribes is to create expert panels to identify and summarize the change brought about from Accords projects.
Going forward, more quantitative life stage survival data should be collected and managed, especially smolt abundance data in order to produce the egg-smolt survival metrics specified in the Accords.
NOAA's VSP recommendation to assemble 12 brood years of Recruit/Spawner ratios to measure productivity take into account the effects of the hydrosystem when measuring productivity, whereas the number of smolts per spawner would exclude most effects of the hydrosystem and is therefore more sensitive to effects of habitat restoration in the tributaries. In terms of habitat restoration, data on limiting factors and changes in limiting factors needs to be managed.
Fish data is less noisy when the fish are moving, in other words, the best chance to obtain estimates with tight confidence intervals for anadromous fish is when they are moving through a point where they can all be counted as smolts or as adults. (I.E. a hard count) Although the tribes plan to eventually monitor and manage anadromous salmonids from gravel to gravel, and the Accords specify expected benefits in terms of improvement to egg-smolt survival, measuring the number of smolts per spawner is an efficient and cost effective preliminary focal point for beginning the monitoring in the tributaries, since it provides the best chance for detecting changes in survival due to changes in habitat. For more details see the Tribal Data Network design document. Egg-smolt survival estimates can be reported;
1) at the watershed scale specified in the Accords,
2) the population scale specified in the BiOp,
3) per tributary, per reach, or per spawning area.
The Population Crosswalk project is an initial attempt to address the different scales of the required estimates.
The tribes have asked the ITMD to assist their Accords efforts by building web based retrospective and prospective tools to facilitate the management of data for the expert panel process. The ITMD has assisted the Yakama Nation to build data management tools for the Rapid Aquatic Habitat Assessment Protocol (RAHAP), which going forward may become part of the prospective Accords tool set and assist in the provision of cost-effective fish and habitat monitoring data. | $30,000 | 4.68% | 09/15/2016 | 09/14/2017 |
