  4. Coordinated AssessmentsReports from the Field Preliminary Results Lessons Learned

  5. General Lessons Learned • Population (as defined by NOAA) is not a unit that data are commonly collected across the region • A “population responsibility directory” is not available within agencies and questions remain around: • population & population scale • responsibility for indicator calculations • overlap of responsibility • when overlap exists, what is the official database of record? • Granularity of population lists conflict with some agency/tribe management objectives • Some VSP indicators only available for population aggregates, rather than by CBFWA/TRT populations

  6. Data Exchange Templates • Terminology issues • smolt • natural spawner vs. natural origin spawner • recruit/spawner vs. progeny/parent • Current DET version does not accommodate all agency/tribe specific indicator calculations • Complex calculations are not captured • Complexity will need to be addressed in the next version of the DET

  7. Data Analysis Flow Diagrams PROS • Generally speaking, well received • Have been useful when discussing indicator derivations with biologists • Serves multiple audiences and purposes CONS • Desired level of detail inconsistent • e.g., programmer vs. biologist vs. supervisor needs • Depending on audience the diagram may not show all gaps • Data flow vs. data analysis

  8. Coordinated AssessmentsReports from the Field Preliminary Results Data Availability

  9. Data Availability: Indicator Level • Indicators are sometimes reported → but the supporting metadata is not included • Not all agencies calculate all 3 of the chosen VSP indicators • Natural Spawner Abundance (NSA) is the most commonly available • Spawner to Adult Ratio (SAR) the least and the most variable

  10. Data Components of the Indicator • Highly variable • Different ways to store data • Inconsistencies even within an agency • Sometimes the entire process is done in Excel while other agencies use a local or regional database • Storage of the metrics is variable: • Published papers and reports, internal documents, websites • Sometimes the data are hard to find

  11. Examples of Data Management Systems capable of sharing data: • Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System (IFWIS) • ODFW Salmon and Steelhead Recovery Tracker • Colville Tribe : Website that houses reports and formation of a database to house data from multiple sources • WDFW Juvenile Migrant Exchange (JMX) • NOAA Salmon Population Summary (SPS)

  12. Data Availability Issues • Changing methodology impacts and complicates availability • Lack of funding (staffing) • Inconsistent platforms and format • Lack of management priority for specific indicators

  13. Coordinated AssessmentsReports from the Field Preliminary Results Gaps and Needs

  14. Populations • Need to define the populations of interest • Multiple naming conventions are used • Some indicators are calculated at scales larger or smaller than the actual population as formally defined

  15. Resources Money/time for data personnel who can: • Understand the data flow, data analysis and reporting process • Calculate indicators and supporting data • Perform data QA/QC • Collect and enter data into database • Develop metadata

  16. Data Management • Database infrastructure • Metadata • Data dictionary • Data sharing, documentation, and transparency • Consistent methods for internal data analysis • A streamlined process for reporting data • data are exchanged multiple times before reporting

  17. Communication • Clearer communication of project objectives • e.g., “What’s in it for me?” • Little coordination and communication between/among/within agency offices • Concern over data ownership and potential misuse of data

  18. Future of the DET • The DET is a work in progress and needs further work before the region considers implementing it as a formal business practice for sharing data.
