Title:

M: 132 - Contribute to and review CHaMP FCRPS BiOp RM&E/Project Lessons Learned report

Description:

Two recent evaluations of research, monitoring and evaluation (RM&E) aspects of Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) fish and wildlife program found key areas for improving the usefulness of annual reports on RM&E projects. The Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s (Council) 2011 RM&E categorical review called for standardized annual reporting formats. Similarly, a second assessment funded by BPA reviewed existing monitoring results and noted the program would benefit from a standardized approach to annual reports, including uniform measurements and reporting. As a result BPA is adopting a new annual reporting system for Research, Monitoring & Evaluation results and a second report for sponsors with projects that support Reasonable and Prudent Alternatives in the Biological Opinion for the Federal Columbia River Power System, which will help BPA track and report progress toward BiOp goals.

The CHaMP Lead Coordinator will work with collaborators to produce FCRPS BiOp RM&E reports for the CHaMP 2013 field season. This “lessons learned” annual report will be used to inform implementation in 2014 and 2015, including any adjustments that may be appropriate on the design or scope of the project.

The CHaMP RME and BiOp reports will:
a) provide regular synthesis and reporting of habitat status results
b) compare these results to available fish status and trend information
c) inform adaptive management improvements for CHaMP, including comparison with other similar efforts such as PIBO and Washington State monitoring protocols with the goal of achieving use of fewer key parameters, greater efficiencies and lower costs;
d) support Action Agencies requirements for the 2013/2016 Comprehensive Evaluations; and
e) be written to inform agency and tribal decision-makers and specifically address key management questions and decisions.
