Title:

G: 157 - Conduct side channel effectiveness monitoring as part of Entiat IMW

Description:

The USFWS MCRFRO will conduct seasonal quantitative biological evaluations of existing and proposed off-channel habitats within the Entiat River. The proposed actions conform to the habitat implementation strategy and study objectives outlined within the Entiat River IMW study design. During 2016, up to 7 off-channel sites will be chosen for this project. Sites are selected from within the current IMW boundaries for the Entiat River and are distributed throughout the study area. Sites will include a variety of both existing (natural/existing/created/enhanced in 2012 or 2014 habitat actions) and planned off-channel habitat types (2017 implementation actions). In addition, the use of instream PIT tag detection antennas will generate survival and movement data. We anticipate high capture efficiencies during sampling periods based on previous experience and the ability to utilize block netting within off-channel sites. Long-term monitoring periods will be required to evaluate a biological response over time (annual). The long-term performance of off-channel habitats is an important monitoring consideration as natural processes may alter biological benefits over time. Off-channel habitat monitoring will be conducted for the duration of the Entiat River IMW study. This fish monitoring will be supported by habitat and potentially macroinvertebrate monitoring carried out by Terraqua under a separate contract. Approximately 1,500 12mm and 8.5 mm PIT tags could be used in this work.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

Deliverables will include juvenile spring Chinook and steelhead fish use in off-channel habitat as defined as watered aquatic habitat outside of the main channel and will include species composition, abundance, and site use patterns, age composition, growth, and survival. All estimates are dependent upon sufficient numbers of fish captured and PIT tagged during seasonal mark-recapture events.

Sort	Type	Title	Start	End	Status	Modified By	Modified Date
A	EC	Environmental compliance requirements complete	2/1/2016	2/14/2016	Active	Joseph Connor (Inactive)	11/19/2015 6:37:17 PM
		Description: On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff (completion can be based on pre-existing environmental documentation from BPA).
B	PUBPROTOCOL	Review, revise, and Publish protocol, study design, and methods in monitoringmethods.org	2/1/2016	12/31/2016	Active	Pamela Nelle	10/31/2015 4:49:23 PM
		Description: The Protocol (including temporal and spatial design) and Methods for this work element are stored at monitoringmethods.org and need to be finalized (i.e., "Published" through monitoringmethods.org), preferably prior to data collection. Preparations for contract renewals must include reviewing any previously published Protocols/Methods to ensure that they are consistent with how work will be done in any subsequent contract.
C	BackUp	Secure data back-up	2/1/2016	1/31/2017	Concluded	Pamela Nelle	10/31/2015 4:49:23 PM
		Description: Minimum requirements: Hard copies of field sheets and original dataloggers secured against fire and flood. At least daily data back-up of electronic data on a separate hard drive. Secure cloud-based or off-site location data back-up to preclude catastrophic data loss at least weekly. More frequent cloud/off-site back-up is greatly encouraged. [Timing guidance: from beginning to end of contract]
D		Fish tagging study in up to 7 side channels in the late winter/early spring	2/1/2016	3/31/2016	Concluded	Pamela Nelle	11/30/2015 12:15:14 PM
		Description: The USFWS MCRFRO will conduct an late winter/early spring quantitative biological evaluations of up to 7 existing and proposed off-channel habitats within the Entiat River watershed. Work will include weighing, measuring, scanning for existing PIT tag and if none exists tagging with appropriate sized tag if fish length is >60mm all target species (Chinook and steelhead) captured.
E		Fish tagging study in up to 7 side channels in the summer	7/1/2016	8/31/2016	Concluded	Pamela Nelle	11/30/2015 12:16:21 PM
		Description: The USFWS MCRFRO will conduct a summer quantitative biological evaluations of up to 7 existing and proposed off-channel habitats within the Entiat River watershed. Work will include weighing, measuring, scanning for existing PIT tag and if none exists tagging with appropriate sized tag if fish length is >60mm all target species (Chinook and steelhead) captured.
F		Fish tagging study in up to 7 side channels in the fall	10/1/2016	11/30/2016	Concluded	Pamela Nelle	11/30/2015 12:17:14 PM
		Description: The USFWS MCRFRO will conduct fall quantitative biological evaluations of up to 7 existing and proposed off-channel habitats within the Entiat River watershed. Work will include weighing, measuring, scanning for existing PIT tag and if none exists tagging with appropriate sized tag if fish length is >60mm all target species (Chinook and steelhead) captured.
G	Upload	Yearly upload of error-checked datasets	2/1/2016	12/31/2016	Concluded	Pamela Nelle	10/31/2015 4:49:23 PM
		Description: Upload datasets with associated metadata to a publicly accessible site each year as soon as they have been QA/QC checked. This generally happens within 6 months for direct field-to-database input, but may be longer if laboratory analysis is required (e.g., scale reading or genetic analyses). If data is not QA/QCed within 1 year, data must be made accessible with acknowledgement of QA/QC limitations. Periods for dataset collection should be no longer than a year, and coincide with the logical biology of the data collection, which may not be on a calendar year. Example of a dataset: redd counts for one species for one season for a particular brood year. Dataset upload requirements apply to both original and derived data, which should be at a level of quality suitable for release to resource co-managers to make decisions – not the rigor required as if you were going to use the data for a peer-reviewed publication.
H	DELIV	Monitoring juvenile fish populations in up to 7 side channels		12/31/2016	Concluded	Pamela Nelle	11/20/2015 11:25:04 AM
