Section 3. Relationships to other projects

Project IDTitleDescription
Inventory and Monitoring of Salmon Habitat in the Pacific Northwest This document provides a directory and synthesis of protocols for management/research and volunteers. The fish counting protocols will be of similar nature, but the target audience of professionals (not volunteers); the fish protocols will be
35019 Oregon Monitoring Plan; Washington Monitoring Plan; British Columbia monitoring efforts; Federal RM&E efforts; fish monitoring committees; state, federal, and tribal fish mgt programs; StreamNet given substantially more peer-review and formal scientific rigor in its recommendations. Work under this project will be closely coordinated with the number of state- and federally-based RM&E and programs now in development or operation, as well
35033 CBFWA Collaborative, Systemwide Monitoring and Evaluation Program. as very close coordination also with state, federal, tribal, and provincial fish management entities. Project work will be consistent with SAIC Report and ISRP recommendations on data management for the Columbia Basin.
