  1. Pacific NorthwestAquatic Monitoring Partnership(PNAMP) PNAMP Mission Statement PNAMP provides a forum to enhance the capacity of multiple entities to collaborate to produce an effective and comprehensive network of aquatic monitoring programs in the Pacific Northwest based on sound science designed to inform public policy and resource management decisions. Jennifer M. Bayer, Coordinator (USGS)

  2. PNAMP Objectives Provide a technical forum to develop, coordinate and inform monitoring and evaluation (M&E) programs Provide a forum for communication with decision makers Be a clearing house for sample design, protocol development, and data management activities Provide process to establish landscape/ecosystem metrics

  3. PNAMP Partners Charter signed by 20 state, tribal, federal, and regional entities: WA GSRO

  4. Coordination Structure Executive Network Steering Committee Coordination Team Lead Lead Lead Lead Technical Workgroups/Subcommittees High Level Indicators Subcom. Project Effectiveness WG Protocol Manager/ Data Dictionary Subcom. Watershed Condition WG Data Mgmt WG Estuary WG Fish Population Monitoring WG

  5. Accomplishments • Successful forum for dialogue • Specific projects • Validation of “in-kind contribution” approach • Recommendations (formal) • Programmatic coordination • Policy interface (formal & informal)

  6. Current Emphasis • Protocols/methods • Monitoring Design – “master sample” approach • Policy/programmatic coordination • Provide forum/resources to facilitate interaction

  7. PNAMP Current Tasks • Assist with the advancement of a regional environmental information management strategy • Monitoring Survey Design: develop regional aquatic status & trends “master sample design” (using the EPA’s EMAP probabilistic GRTS design) • Facilitate application of remote sensing tools for aquatic monitoring. • Work with PNW RGIC to identify and implement a process for developing/refining common GIS layers. • Coordinate existing aquatic/riparian monitoring with invasive/nonnative species surveys

  8. PNAMP Protocol Tasks • Protocol catalogue & data dictionary tool (Protocol Manager) • Data dictionary content development and agreement on definitions

  9. PNAMP Protocol Tasks Protocols under development • Fish population monitoring techniques • Watershed assessment (habitat) techniques • Estuary monitoring • Effectiveness monitoring

  10. Tagging Telemetry & Marking Techniques Compendium • Broad Outreach • Peer-Review • Gap/Fill Exercise • Possible e-publication • New Information Updates (via e-pub) • Regional Access • August 2009 • Case Studies, Published and Unpublished information etc. (150 contributors) • Analysis of Applicability • Match to Population Management Questions

  11. Data Management is fundamental to Monitoring Coordination Needs include: working towards data management standards, definitions, data sharing agreements & protocols, etc. PNAMP partners with regional data management entities: • NW Environmental Data Network (NED) • PNW Regional Geographic Information Council (PNW RGIC) • Regional Information Management Executive Summit - October 2, 2007

  14. One Example of Coordination Between/ Among Major M&E Efforts in the CRB PNAMP Partnership CSMEP Pilot Projects • Common goal and an emerging hierarchy of roles and responsibilities • PNAMP—Develop protocols and standards, Pacific NW coordination, communications pathway • CSMEP—technical products, agencies peer review and coordination in Columbia Basin • BPA Pilot Studies–logistical and practical implementation on the ground—testing and training
