VSP: Ensure moderate to high precision estimation monitoring approaches are in place for abundance, productivity, spatial structure and diversity. Strengthen salmonid status and trend monitoring in the DPS, improve effectiveness monitoring, and facilitate the implementation of a regionally standardized monitoring and evaluation program.
Strategy SummaryStrategy Summary
Habitat Effectiveness: Adequately assess habitat status and trends. Assess effectiveness of specific habitat actions that
address key limiting factors. Determine the effectiveness of habitat restoration
actions and to detect fish response in the IMWs (fish in/fish out).
StrategyStrategy
Hatchery Effectiveness: Evaluate the benefits and risks of supplementation by monitoring natural origin abundance, productivity, life history, relative reproductive success and make comparisons of hatchery and natural origin fish. Develop a better understanding of origin, abundance and effects of hatchery strays.
