The Phase 2 (Final) Report summarizes Columbia Basin Partnership Task Force (Partnership) efforts and accomplishments through September 2020. An overarching message from Partnership members is a strong sense of urgency that immediate action is needed to address salmon and steelhead declines in the Columbia River Basin. This report finalizes qualitative and quantitative goals for all salmon and steelhead, both ESA-listed and non-listed, and provides recommendations for continuing collaboration going forward to further define and implement strategies to achieve the Partnership Goals. The report serves as the Partnership’s final recommendations to the NOAA Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee.

This Partnership process has also, for the first time in the region, completed a full accounting of Columbia River salmon and steelhead numbers at the stock level from the ocean to the spawning grounds for natural and hatchery-origin fish. The Phase 2 Report includes detailed summaries of the quantitative goals for each of 27 stocks of salmon and steelhead in the basin and a description of the methodologies used to derive the goals.

Summary of the Coordinated Assessments Partnership, as of December 2020.

The June 2021 issue includes:

• Progress update on CAP Hatchery indicators (HCAX)
• CAP related tasks being addressed through the StreamNet and PNAMP FMWG Collaboration
• ODFW’s new CAVES application and how it supports data submittal to CAX
• CAP Fish HLI and Metadata facilitating WDFW reporting

This annual report summarizes the work performed during calendar year 2020, which spans fiscal years 2020 and 2021. StreamNet’s FY2021 (Oct 1 2020 – Sept 30 2021) budget was increased to align more closely with the NPCC project recommendation and to support BPA information needs.

Implementation of the CAP in the Columbia River Basin is informed by the CAP 5-year Plan that is annually revisited by the StreamNet Executive Committee (SN ExCom) to ensure alignment with regional priorities. Data from the CAP are maintained and shared via the CAX , which is hosted by the StreamNet Program at PSMFC. The PNAMP facilitates discussions and activities needed to support implementation of CAP, maintains the historical records of CA, and coordinates regional communication via the CAP Outreach Forum’s distribution list. This document provides a description of the role and responsibilities of the groups and related projects involved in implementing the CAP.

This is a general guide, independent of the purpose or use of the data, intended as a “nuts and bolts” description of the steps needed to establish a  comprehensive approach to data sharing. The focus is more on the container than the contents.

These are the ‘top ten’ data management and sharing recommendations condensed from ‘Considerations for Regional Data Collection, Sharing and Exchange’ by StreamNet (www.streamnet.org). This list, in no particular order, represents aspects to consider and address in developing data management and sharing approaches. They are not specific instructions.

Time-line of the StreamNet Program between 1984 and 2000 as summarized by Stan Allen, Senior Program Manager, PSMFC.

StreamNet User Information provided to ISRP in 2019 in response to their request for more information. The StreamNet annual reports to BPA, available on this website and on cbfish.org, also contain StreamNet website usage information.

Report covers work performed under BPA contract #(s) 54765 for the extended 15-month Fy-12 contract: 10/1/2011 – 12/31/2012. During the normal 12 month fiscal year the project continued to update the traditional data types and participate in a number of regional scale programs and forums to support data sharing. During the year the project also underwent two external reviews by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, the Data Management Category Review and the Project Evaluation and Review Committee. Both reviews recommended continuation of the project but with a few adjustments. The project also received significant input from Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), including budget changes and revised data priorities.

During 2018 StreamNet continued to help lead implementation of the Coordinated Assessments (CA) project. Accomplishments included review and adoption of a revised 5 year plan for the project by the StreamNet Executive Committee (SNEC).  CA continued focus on the key indicators and metrics that have been identified as priorities for reporting progress on implementation of the Federal Columbia River Power System Biological Opinion. At the end of 2015, BPA identified a need to gather as much data as possible for populations they determined were priorities, and efforts continued to be focused on these populations. In 2018 updates of prioritized standard data trends, such as those related to the CA project or feeding the NPCC dashboards, were also completed as partner agency time permitted. During 2018 BPA outlined a significant budget issue confronting the F&W program, and requested assistance in finding budget savings. To assist in this effort, cuts from the proposed FY 19 budget totaling $82,512.95 were proposed and accepted.

This annual report summarizes the work performed during calendar year 2019, which spans fiscal years 2019 and 2020. StreamNet’s FY2019 (Oct 1 2018 – Sept 30 2019) budget was reduced as agreed to during the June 2018 StreamNet Executive Committee meeting to assist BPA in finding budget savings to address their FY19 budget concerns. This lower budget resulted in reduction of partners’ staff time allocated to StreamNet which affected delivery of data to the Coordinated Assessments Exchange (CAX), fish distribution data set, and response to in‐year user requests. Similarly, this budget reduction also resulted in reduction in PSMFC staff .

During 2017 StreamNet continued to help lead implementation of the Coordinated Assessments (CA) project. Accomplishments included review and adoption of a revised 5 year Plan for the project by the StreamNet Executive Committee. This document prioritizes the work of collection of data from partners. CA continued focus on the key indicators and metrics that have been identified as priorities for reporting progress on implementation of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion
(BiOp). At the end of 2015, BPA identified a need to gather as much data as possible for populations they determined were priorities and efforts continued to be focused on these populations. In 2017 updates of prioritized standard data trends, such as those related to the CA project or feeding the NPCC dashboards were also completed as partner agency time permitted.

During 2016 StreamNet continued to help lead implementation of the Coordinated Assessments (CA) project. Accomplishments included continued implementation of the 5 year Plan for the project by the StreamNet Executive Committee (http://www.streamnet.org/streamnet-executive-committee-adopts-5-year-plan-for-coordinated-assessments-project/), collection of data from partners on the first indicators, and continuing development of Data Exchange Standards (DES). In 2016 updates of certain prioritized standard data trends, such as those related to the CA project or feeding the NPCC dashboards were also completed as partner agency time permitted. CA focuses on the key indicators and metrics that have been identified as priorities for reporting progress on implementation of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion (BiOp). At the end of 2015, BPA identified a need to gather as much data as possible for populations they determined were priorities, and efforts were begun to assist in this effort.

During 2014 StreamNet continued to help lead implementation of the Coordinated Assessments (CA) project. Accomplishments included completion of the initial pilot effort and development of Data Exchange Standards (DES). In 2014 updates to standard data types were again largely put on hold in order to focus on the CA project. However, the new SOW implemented October 1, 2014 anticipates some updates to standard data if the CA project remains on track. CA focuses on the key indicators and metrics that have been identified as priorities for reporting progress on implementation of the FCRPS Biological Opinion (BiOp). During the year new funding was sought for the CA project; a $500,000 grant from the EPA to StreamNet subcontractor WDFW was received in 2014, and a second application for a new round of EPA funding was also submitted.

During 2015 StreamNet continued to help lead implementation of the Coordinated Assessments (CA) project. Accomplishments included adoption of a 5 year Plan for the project by the StreamNet Executive Committee (http://www.streamnet.org/streamnet‐executive‐committee‐adopts‐5‐year‐plan‐for‐coordinated‐assessments‐project/), collection of data from partners on the first indicators, and continuing development of Data Exchange Standards (DES). In 2015 a decision was also made to resume updates of certain prioritized standard data trends, such as those related to the CA project or feeding the NPCC dashboards. CA focuses on the key indicators and metrics that have been identified as priorities for reporting progress on implementation of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion (BiOp). At the end of 2015 BPA identified a need to gather as much data as possible for populations they determined were priorities, and efforts were begun to assist in this effort. During the year new funding was sought for the CA project; unfortunately, however, a second application for a new round of EPA funding was not approved.

During 2013 StreamNet helped to lead implementation of the Coordinated Assessments (CA) project. Accomplishments included completion of the initial pilot effort and development of Data Exchange Standards (DES). In 2013 updates to standard data types were largely put on hold in order to focus on the CA project, which focuses on the key indicators and metrics that have been identified as priorities for reporting progress on implementation of the FCRPS Biological Opinion (BiOp). During the year new funding was sought for the CA project, and at the close of 2013 a $500,000 grant from the EPA to StreamNet subcontractor WDFW was imminent.

Fiscal year 2010 represented a change in focus for the StreamNet Project, including both segments of the project under Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) and Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC). In addition to the routine updating of the previously existing data types, providing data to the CBFWA Status of the Resource (SOTR) report, computer and website maintenance, and operation of the StreamNet Library, the project began shifting emphasis to regional scale reporting. Significant effort was directed to assisting regional efforts led by CBFWA, PNAMP and BPA in locating and organizing data to support reporting of high-level Indicators to track progress of populations toward recovery and responses to actions under the Columbia Basin Biological Opinion (BiOp). Project representatives at both the Regional level in PSMFC and the other project participants worked to support planning of the Coordinated Assessments being led by CBFWA and PNAMP, development of the initial draft Data Exchange Template (DET) for three pilot Indicators that support VSP, and conduct of an initial test of the draft DET for three populations of listed anadromous salmonids.

During Fiscal year 2011 (FY-11) the StreamNet project continued to shift emphasis toward providing greater support for Columbia Basin scale reporting of higher level derived data to track progress toward FCRPS Biological Opinion and ESA recovery objectives. Direction for this shift came from the project’s participation in the Coordinated Assessments (CA) project (http://www.pnamp.org/project/3129), which is a collaborative effort among the basin’s state and tribal fisheries managers and regional scale entities to develop a coordinated approach to monitoring and sharing the resulting data. The effort was led by the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP) and the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority (CBFWA), with StreamNet as the third member of the planning team’s “core group”.  Activities related to the CA project revolved around planning the project, defining the specific data elements to be shared, evaluating agency capacity for sharing the specific data elements, evaluating internal data flow pathways in the data source agencies, and assisting the agencies with identifying gaps and needs related to sharing these data routinely and developing strategies for doing so in the future. StreamNet hired a temporary staff of ten data specialists to conduct this work.

Primary accomplishments for the StreamNet Project during Fiscal Year 2009 (FY-09) include routine update of the data in the StreamNet database, documentation of data sources in the StreamNet Library, maintenance of project data systems, assistance to regional data efforts, redesign of the project website, and reorganization of the project. The project successfully reorganized to operate under two separate contracts.  The flow of specific data to the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority for the Status of the Resource (SOTR) report remained a primary objective this year. StreamNet’s partner projects in the fish and wildlife agencies made data updates for SOTR a priority, and the regional StreamNet office at Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) instituted an XML based web service designed to provide needed data directly to CBFWA. Efforts to develop internal database systems within the partner agencies continued.

This report summarizes StreamNet Project activities during fiscal year 2004 (FY-04). Detailed descriptions of accomplishments by individual objective and task are provided in the Project’s quarterly progress reports, available on the reports and publications page of the StreamNet web site at www.streamnet.org/about-sn/project_management.html.  The project is organized to perform three broad functions: agency support, regional support and reference support.  Currently available data types include: • Fish distribution • 1:100,000 scale (100K) routed hydrography (GIS streams layer) • Adult abundance in the wild (redd counts, peak spawner counts, dam counts, etc.) • Hatchery releases (currently being revised) • Hatchery returns • Dams and fish passage facilities • Hatchery facilities • Harvest • NPCC Protected Areas • Smolt density model data • Independent data sets • Genetics (primarily for trout in Montana). The project is also working on other data that could be provided regionally if support is obtained, including: habitat restoration / improvement projects, barriers and screened diversions, juvenile abundance and outmigration, age, production factors and run reconstruction, and habitat.

StreamNet is a cooperative data compilation, development, and distribution project involving the state, tribal and federal fish and wildlife agencies in the Columbia River basin. The project focuses primarily on fish related data generated by the fish management agencies in the Columbia Basin. It is funded by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) through the Fish and Wildlife Program (FWP) of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NPCC), and is administered by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC). The project is organized to perform three broad functions: agency support, regional support, and reference support.  Currently available data types include: • Fish distribution • 1:100,000 scale (100K) routed hydrography (GIS streams layer) • Adult abundance in the wild (redd counts, peak spawner counts, dam counts, etc.) • Hatchery releases (currently being revised) • Hatchery returns • Dams and fish passage facilities • Hatchery facilities • Harvest • NPCC Protected Areas • Smolt density model data • Independent data sets (searchable data archive) • Genetics (primarily for trout in Montana). The project is also working on other data that could be provided regionally if support is obtained, including: habitat restoration / improvement projects, barriers and screened diversions, juvenile abundance and outmigration, age, production factors and run reconstruction, and habitat.

This report presents accomplishments of the StreamNet project for Fiscal Year 2001 (FY-01). The report is organized by Task, rather than by participating agency, to clearly link accomplishments by all project participants to the individual Tasks and responsibilities detailed in the FY-01 Statement of Work (http://www.streamnet.org/about-sn/project_management.html). A primary focus of the project in the previous year (FY-00) was conversion of most data in the StreamNet database to utilize the Longitude Latitude Identification (LLID) system for tying data to the 1:100,000 scale hydrography layer. Specific accomplishments are described in the four Quarterly Reports (http://www.streamnet.org/about-sn/project_management.html) for FY-01 and as summarized in the body of this report. A significant change in participation occurred in FY-01. The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (SBT) dropped out of the project after having been a participant for many years. This change represented a response to increased workloads rather than a lack of interest in the project.

This report presents accomplishments of the StreamNet project for Fiscal Year 2002 (FY-02). A summary of significant activities and accomplishments is presented in the Introduction section as an executive summary, and more detailed discussion of activities is presented by individual task in the body of the report. Individual jobs for each objective and task can be found in the StreamNet 2002 Work Statement and detailed accomplishments are documented in the quarterly reports, all of which can be obtained at http://www.streamnet.org/about-sn/project_management.html.  Overall project administration is provided by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), and in this report the central project conducted by PSMFC is referred to as the ‘Region’. Approximately 1/4 of project resources were expended by the Regional component of the StreamNet project for maintaining and managing the regional data and database systems, developing and maintaining the data delivery system, and overall project administration. Cooperating projects expended the remainder and consist of project-funded staff in the Columbia River Intertribal Fisheries Commission (CRITFC), Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP), Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).

This document constitutes the 1999 federal fiscal year (October 1, 1998 – September 30, 1999) annual report of activities by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s (IDFG) StreamNet program. Project accomplishments are described relative to objectives applied to IDFG from the StreamNet Fiscal Year 1999 Statement of Work and the Fiscal Year 1999 Supplemental Statement of Work. StreamNet’s purpose is to compile, manage and distribute electronic data on the fish and, secondarily, wildlife resources in the Pacific Northwest.

FY 2000 Annual Report for the StreamNet Project (BPA Project Number 1988-10-804) for the time period between October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000. StreamNet is a cooperative effort composed of a region-wide project that is responsible for project management, regional data management and data delivery (Region), plus seven contributing projects within the data generating entities: Columbia River Intertribal Fish Commission (CRITFC); Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG); Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP); Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW); Shoshone-Bannock Tribes; U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS); and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). The StreamNet Project provides an important link in the chain of data flow in the Columbia Basin, by acquiring the data sets and converting the data from all agencies into the standardized DEF. Where field methodologies differ to the degree that the data can not be made comparable, the data are presented as different data types. This way, data are converted only once and made available for research, management and administrative purposes instead of forcing each person needing basin wide data to attempt data standardization individually.

The goal is to bring many diverse data types and sources into a single comprehensive report on the status of anadromous fish runs in the Columbia River Basin and the environmental conditions that may affect that status. Brief summaries are provided to identify the type and scope of available information. This synopsis is intended to complement other more detailed reports to which readers are referred for comprehensive treatment of specific subjects. This first report focuses mainly on anadromous salmon and steelhead (primarily through 1994) but we intend to expand the scope of future issues to include resident species.  This report is a product of the project which is funded by the Bonneville Power Administration U.S. Department of Energy, as part of program to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife affected by the development and operation of hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries. The project is called for in the Fish and Wildlife Program Northwest Power Planning Council.

The Coordinated Assessments (CA) project is focused on addressing standardizing regional fish data for high level indicators. The project is a collaborative effort amongst many partners, working under the direction of the NPCC Fish and Wildlife Program and largely funded by BPA.  As data began to flow for the initial 4 indicators selected as a priority for this purpose, it became clear that a longer term plan for CA was needed. This document addresses that need. In July, 2015 the StreamNet Executive Committee (representatives of the Colville Tribes, WDFW, USFWS, IDFG, MFWP, ODFW, and CRITFC) adopted this plan as an outline for the CA going forward for the next five years.

This DSA, EULA, and policy are intended for use with CA data sets that have passed QA and are ready for dissemination online. The StreamNet Steering and Executive Committees have reviewed this DSA and will remain avenues to discuss any changes or concerns that participants may have about access to these data.

This is the 2017 revised version of the Coordinate Assessments Five Year plan for the project. In September 2017,  the StreamNet Executive Committee (representatives of BPA, NOAA, NPCC, the Colville Tribes, WDFW, USFWS, IDFG, MFWP, ODFW, and CRITFC) discussed this plan as an outline for Coordinated Assessments (CA) going forward for the next five years. The plan was reviewed and updated by the Committee and adopted September 28, 2017.

StreamNet response to the 2019 Independent Scientific Review Panel’s preliminary comments and recommendations on the StreamNet project. This contributed to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s “Mainstem and Program Support Project Review” which was the second of four sets of reviews in the effort to review the Fish and Wildlife Program (Program)-funded projects over four years. This Mainstem and Program Support Project Review focused largely on evaluating results and adaptive management, contribution to the Program in terms of providing information, and research and services to inform other parts of the Program. The ISRP reviewed project proposals, annual reports, project publications and past ISRP reviews. Review Summary.

This is the second five year plan for the project. In June, 2019 the StreamNet Executive Committee (representatives of BPA, NOAA, NPCC, the Colville Tribes, WDFW, USFWS, IDFG, MFWP, ODFW, and CRITFC) discussed this plan as an outline for Coordinated Assessments (CA) going forward for the next five years. The plan was reviewed and updated by the Committee and adopted August 1, 2019. CA initially focused on providing data to address the Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) data needs of NOAA for 5 year status reviews. As data began to flow for the initial 4 indicators selected as a priority for this purpose, it became clear that a longer term plan for CA was needed. This document addresses that need. The intent is for the CA project to be a collaborative, consensus based effort. All participants, including non-StreamNet partners, are encouraged to share any concerns or issues they may have about this document or CA in general. We will attempt to address such concerns to the greatest extent possible.

We explore best practices and provide recommendations for including robust metadata attributes within data sets to enable data publication and citation using the CA and SPS data repositories as case studies. From reviewing the current citations possible from the CA and the SPS we recommend at minimum that natural resource monitoring databases contain: metadata to identify organizations that generated the data; contact persons for each organization that contributes data to an aggregated data set; and that metadata be incorporated into databases to enable autogenerated citations that recognize all contributing organizations with time-stamped versions of the data delivered.

This is the first issue of the CAP newsletter. The StreamNet Executive Committee, during its September 2, 2020 meeting, supported adding a CAP Newsletter task to the Coordinated Assessments Five Year Plan. The CAP newsletter would be produced twice a year and serve to convey CAP and partner activities, including information about CAP process and activities, priorities in the CAP Five-Year plan, CAP data updates, improvements to the data exchange standards, and partner spotlight.

This is the 2020 revised version of the Coordinate Assessments Five Year plan for the project. On September  2, 2020,  the StreamNet Executive Committee (representatives of BPA, NOAA, NPCC, the Colville Tribes, WDFW, USFWS, IDFG, MFWP, ODFW, and CRITFC)  reviewed, updated, and adopted this plan during its September 2, 2020 meeting.
