1. Habitat Status and Trend in the Upper Columbia ESU Chapter 3 John Arterburn

2.  Chris Jordan et al.-ISEMP ◦ Habitat Status and Trend in the Wenatchee  Brent Phillips-Summit Environmental ◦ Habitat Status and Trends in the Okanogan from the OBMEP: Temperature Reporting  Chip McConnaha-ICFI ◦ Habitat Status and Trends in the Okanogan from the OBMEP: EDT3 modeling  Robert Al-Chokhachy- PIBO ◦ PIBO Habitat Status and Trend Presentations

3. Monitoring the Status and Trends of Physical Habitat on Federal Lands Robert Al-Chokhachy, Brett Roper, and Eric Archer

4.  Most metrics have large year variance making it difficult to determine habitat change from background noise.  PIBO is attempting to develop a way to combine all 17 habitat variables that they collect into a single habitat score.  Trend data has been used to establish change in managed areas and indicate significant negative impacts from; ◦ Grazing ◦ Road density

6. Management Questions  Is habitat changing? ◦ Water quality ◦ Access ◦ Habitat quality ◦ Channel condition ◦ Riparian condition ◦ Stream flow ◦ Watershed condition  Placed into the common text: ◦ Is ______ increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable within the distribution of the populations in the Upper Columbia region?

7. Management Questions that you meant to ask  Is the Wenatchee/Entiat habitat monitoring program generating repeatable, useful metrics?  At what spatial scale are habitat metrics meaningful?  At what temporal scale do habitat metrics change?  Status of what? ◦ Mean, Variance, Distribution  Trend of what? ◦ Temporal, spatial??  What does watershed condition mean?

12. Monitoring made simple

13.  Trends in habitat metrics exist ◦ They exist at multiple spatial scales ◦ Trend diversity exists in data space  How do we connect what we know about habitat metrics and our management questions?  What about habitat metric trends is biologically relevant? ◦ Do indicators based on single habitat metrics mean anything? ◦ Where are the fish in our consideration of habitat status and trends?

16. DATA AUDITING RULE SET Finalized Data Auditing Rule Set (and order of implementation) 1.All temperatures below zero, will be changed to equal zero 2.Exclude the first and last days of each data series 3.When there is an hourly increment > 5 degrees C, exclude data records from that measurement until temperature recovers at least 3 degrees C. 4.If there are any remaining results > 30 degrees, data for the entire day will be excluded Final query develop – in progress

25.  Deploy production version of EDT3 to implement status and trends report  Publish new user manual to guide users through the habitat status and trends evaluation process  The EDT3 model promises one of the few tangible methods for estimating changes in fish productivity to habitat restoration or degradation.  Stay tuned for more details in the next couple of years.

26. Habitat Status and Trend Conclusions  Some changes at small spatial scales  More time is needed (Watershed scale change is slow and “noisy”)  Need to evaluate the validity of some metrics ◦ If too much variance then change the KMQ  Data needed in Methow (update: funding has been allotted through the FCRPS BiOp)  Report results for relevant metrics for use in adaptive management
