Pacific Northwest Salmon Habitat Project Database - Salmon habitat restoration metrics for recovery science

Throughout the Pacific Northwest, stream habitat degradation has been cited as a factor contributing to the decline and ESA listing of of Pacific Salmon. Thus, stream habitat restoration is a major component of recovery plans as a method to increase salmon population productivity. Over 10 years after the majority of salmon listings we now have many datasets available to evaluate salmon habitat restoration placement, including our restoration projects database (Pacific Northwest Salmon Habitat Project Database), habitat assessments, salmon recovery plans, and spatial habitat mapping. By creating data dictionaries and metrics to standardize and analyze currently available datasets (e.g., restoration data, recovery plans, monitoring data, population abundance data) evaluations can be made to determine whether the right types of habitat actions are going in where they are most valuable. Further, a quantitative framework can be developed to link habitat conditions to fish population condition through stream restoration actions. This information can them be provided to local groups and agencies involved in salmon recovery to help inform the adaptive management process.

Agencies only provide data once per year

The Northwest Fisheries Science Center facilitates backup and recovery of all data and IT components which are managed by IT Operations through the capture of static (point-in-time) backup data to physical media. Once data is captured to physical media (every 1-3 days), a duplicate is made and routinely (weekly) transported to an offsite archive facility where it is maintained throughout the data's applicable life-cycle.
