Salmon Habitat Status and Trend Monitoring Program Data
Habitat data sets for habitat status and trend monitoring in Puget Sound and the Oregon Coast Coho regions.
The Puget Sound Habitat Status and Trend Monitoring Program (PSHSTMP) began in 2014 and 2015 as part of NOAA Fisheries' statutory responsibility to evaluate progress towards recovery of the Puget Sound Chinook, Hood Canal Summer Chum, and Puget Sound Steelhead. Due to its success, the project was expanded in 2018 to include the Oregon Coast Coho Salmon ESU and renamed the Salmon Habitat Status and Trend Monitoring Program (SHSTMP).
The SHSTMP is a long-term monitoring program with a hierarchical approach to monitoring large river, floodplain, delta, and nearshore habitats using primarily remote sensing approaches. We have identified and delineated a number of boundaries and habitat features with the use of Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) land cover data, National Elevation Dataset (NED) and regional surface elevation lidar data, as well as aerial and satellite imagery.

*The Oregon Coast Coho Salmon Habitat Monitoring Project was a demonstration project to test implementation of the metrics we developed in Puget Sound in a coastal region. Currently, the Oregon Coast data layers are not spatially complete and have not been through QA/QC. These layers may be completed if additional funding becomes available. The draft data is available upon request.
