Title:

L: 174 - Develop Long-term Monitoring and Suppression Plan for Box Canyon Reservoir Northern Pike

Description:

Following three years of northern pike (NP) mechanical suppression in Box Canyon Reservoir (BCR), Pend Oreille River, WA a technical report will be produced with a summary of available data and management recommendation for stakeholders to consider and determine options for managing the BCR NP population into the future. Given the success of NP suppression to date and implications associated with discontinuing suppression efforts (financial investments, ESA recovery, recreational fishery management, downstream entrainment of NP, movement into neighboring waters) stakeholders and managers will assemble to determine the appropriate management direction for BCR NP.

The outcomes of the stakeholder/manager meetings will be to produce a long-term management strategy (plan) for NP in BCR that incorporates ISRP comments and suggestions, knowledge to date on the NP population in BCR, population management thresholds and methods (with alternatives), monitoring strategies, management agencies' responsibilities, and financial needs for long-term implementation. As an addition to the proposed plan, we will also discuss investigating NP in Boundary Reservoir downstream of Box Canyon Reservoir in the Pend Oreille River.

The outcome of this plan will provide direction for management (suppression) of BCR NP in 2015 as it relates to Work Element 190 under the Kalispel Tribe's Non-Native Fish Suppression BPA project (2007-149-00).

B	Suggested	Hold an initial meeting for kick off/scoping	7/1/2014	10/31/2014	Concluded	Nick Bean	1/28/2014 3:46:39 PM
		Description: Meeting will be held with appropriate stakeholders and fisheries management agencies to review all relevant information regarding the Box Canyon Reservoir northern pike population and draft the framework for producing a plan for managing Pend Oreille River northern pike in the future, beginning in 2015.
C	Suggested	Prepare draft plan	7/1/2014	12/1/2014	Active	Nick Bean	1/28/2014 3:46:39 PM
		Description: Following the scoping/kickoff meeting, a draft plan will be produced for managing Pend Oreille River northern pike in the future. The plan will include background research on the population, suppression results (2012-2014), monitoring strategies, a management strategy with thresholds for action and alternatives, resource management agencies' responsibilities, and financial estimates and potential funding sources for management strategies.
D	Suggested	Hold a meeting for final review	12/1/2014	2/26/2015	Active	Jason Olson	2/5/2014 11:00:29 AM
		Description: Once the draft Pend Oreille River long-term northern pike management plan is available, a review meeting will take place with the original stakeholders to provide final comments and suggestions on the plan. The group will also determine what level of management to implement in 2015 (short-term) and approve the plan assuming comments/suggestions are considered.
E		Produce final plan	12/1/2014	2/26/2015	Active	Jason Olson	2/5/2014 11:00:29 AM
		Description: Following the scoping/kickoff meeting, drafting and stakeholder review, the final long-term Pend Oreille River northern pike management plan will be edited and finalized.
