Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP)

In 2007, the Fish Population Monitoring WG initiated a task to review and catalog tagging, telemetry, and marking protocols in the region. The proposed Techniques Guide will provide new information, case studies, design and technological advances and will describe methods and protocols. The closing chapters will provide a summary of commonalities and areas of technical convergence. We will use a comparative analysis approach to propose recommendations that will improve tagging, telemetry and marking programs and techniques. This proposal will be reviewed by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's Independent Science Review Panel in early 2008, to assist the PNAMP Steering Committee in making decisions about the final nature of this product.

-The goal of this project is to provide standardization, cost effectiveness, and coordination between and among all tagging, marking, and telemetry programs in the Columbia and Snake River Basins, Puget Sound, the Oregon Coast, Northern California, and beyond.
