3. F&W Foundation 1 : Reporting 2: Anadromous Fish 3: LTWG4: FSOC 5: Resid. Fish 6: Wildlife7: CBFWA 1989-062-01: Program Coordination and Facilitation Services Deliverable 2.1 – Anadromous Salmonid Monitoring Strategy Deliverable 2.2 – Coordinated Assessments (data management) Deliverable 2.3 – Habitat effectiveness evaluations Deliverable 2.4 – Hatchery effectiveness evaluations Deliverable 2.5 – Estuary and ocean information summaries Deliverable 2.6 – Prepare for 2014 F&W Program Amendments

4. Columbia River Anadromous Salmonid Monitoring Strategy Change in data management approaches is needed to achieve coordinated assessments and reporting

5. Primary Data Consumers NOAA Fisheries States and tribes Bonneville Power Administration Northwest Power and Conservation Council NOAA Salmonid Population Summary Database

6. Primary Data Providers Idaho Fish and Game Oregon Dept of Fish and Wildlife Washington Dept of Fish and Wildlife Warm Springs Tribe Umatilla Tribe Yakima Tribe Nez Perce Tribe Colville Tribe Shoshone-Bannock Tribe Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

7. CA Project Approach Build support for internal infrastructure to support regional data sharing Keep the effort small and focused and build on its success Engage regional biologists and data technicians Provide assistance to agencies and tribes for this project

8. 3 VSP Indicators Natural Origin Spawner Abundance Smolt to Adult Ratio Adult to Adult Ratio

9. Date Exchange Template (DET) Defines the content to be shared Does not contain data Is used as the basis to design data sharing systems and to send/receive data electronically automated data systems, enterprise databases, or emailing spreadsheets

10. (DET)

11. CA Project Activities Conduct internal agency reconnaissance and develop proof-of-concept examples Workshop to review examples and get buy-in Evaluate capabilities of each agency and tribe to share three indicators Develop individual and Basin-wide data sharing strategies that identify capacities and business practices necessary for integrated data sharing Prioritize data management projects for BPA and other funding sources

12. Columbia River Basin Collaborative Data Sharing Strategy: Salmon and Steelhead Population Abundance and Productivity Indicators Recommendations: A/T invest in internal infrastructure that can enable external data sharing Create Data Coordinator Positions Support Ongoing Coordination – Science/Content Forum – Technical Forum Support investigation of new methodologies & strategies for data sharing

13. Prioritized Projects Tier 1 priority: provide data stewards and implement through existing projects – StreamNet – Tribal Data Network Tier 2 needs: primarily database infrastructure and QA/QC

14. CA Phase III (2012) Submit Strategy for NPCC and ISRP review Provide assistance to tribes with insufficient plans Update Data Exchange Template – Develop DET V1.0 content – Construct DET guidance document – Guide development of tools and regional infrastructure Develop formal process to continue CA activities – CA Planning Group facilitated by PNAMP and CBFWF – Technical work group facilitated by StreamNet

15. CA 2013-2015 Maintain coordination forums – CAPG (CBFWF and PNAMP) – DET Development Team (StreamNet) – Data Coordinators (StreamNet/CRITFC) Expand DET to include additional VSP indicators Integrate CA with development of DET for habitat and hatchery indicators Support development of data sharing for resident fish and wildlife
