Funding Source Related ID Related Project Title Relationship
Other: PNAMP -- Aquatic Monitoring Protocols 001 Aquatic Protocol Comparision -- John Day Bason The Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership has been interested in and conducted studies which evaluate the comparability and utility of aquatic monitoring protocols within the Pacific Northwest. The two main questions which they have focused on are; 1) which aquatic protocol(s) are the best for specific aquatic attributes and 2) can relationships (crosswalks) be established among different protocols. This interest promulgated earlier efforts to compare aquatic protocols. These studies have been funded by the states of Oregon, Washington, California, and Idaho, Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, Bonneville Power Administration, USDA Forest Service, USDI Bureau of Land Management, and USDC National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This proposal is to insure that on-going efforts comparing various aquatic protocols within the region continue.
