Collaborative Systemwide Monitoring and Evaluation Project (CSMEP)

The Collaborative Systemwide Monitoring and Evaluation Project was a coordinated effort to improve the quality, consistency, and focus of fish population and habitat data to answer key monitoring and evaluation questions relevant to major decisions in the Columbia River Basin.

Biological Risk Assessment Team

The White Sturgeon Biological Risk Assessment Team (BRAT) consists of fish managers and researches that are considered experts in Columbia River Basin white sturgeon management, restoration, and conservation. The BRAT convenes, when needed, to address questions associated with BPA-funded projects.

Data Management Framework

The purpose of the workshop was to discuss a data management framework to support adaptive management for the BPA funded Fish and Wildlife Program, and specifically identify StreamNet's role and function within the framework. We also discussed Northwest Habitat Institute's project, Habitat and Biodiversity Information System, in this context. The workshop included discussing key management questions that needed to be addressed at the basinwide scale and how data can be collected, shared, and presented to address these questions. The data management framework facilitates regional decision making by the fish and wildlife managers, NPCC members and BPA staff for effective implementation of the Fish and Wildlife Program.
