PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS
Project Management
Received Map Catalog program from Duane Anderson and reviewed
with Jeff Hutten. Provided comments/modifications to Duane and
changed several lookup tables to better suit Montana's data; entered
map/plot data through February.
Corresponded with Cindy McKay concerning eastern Montana's RF3
files; discussed Montana's stream name field and what we have
done. Cleaned up cross-reference table between 1:100 000 hydrography
and master tabular Stream database. Discussed western Montana
hydrography in a conference call with Duane, Drew, Bruce Fisher,
and Jeff Hutten; verified needs and sent new file to Bruce.
Provided Stan Allen with information concerning MFWP hatchery
release database which is maintained in Bozeman at the Information
Services Unit supervised by Bob McFarland.
Attended a meeting in Denver with a group of land managers from
the Rocky Mountain States and the Nature Conservancy to discuss
and provide information to the Nature Conservancy's Biodiversity
Assessment, which is similar to the original PNWS Fisheries
Assessment. States involved included Montana, Colorado, Wyoming,
Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.
Discussed water rights and diversion white paper with Jim Stimson,
NRIS; he made inquiries at Montana Department of Natural Resources
and Conservation and provided to StreamNet a summary of their
system and the type of data they store.
Montana office of the Northwest Power Planning Council requested
a resident fish distribution analysis for the Columbia Basin in
Montana. The request was part of a package being provided to
the NWPPC Scientific Review Board review of Montana's resident
fisheries and the impact of various downstream flow scenarios
on that fishery. Base maps of hydrography and land ownership
and topography were created; mylar overlays of species of special
concern and game fish species were plotted to use over the base
maps. Product was provided in an 11 x17 binder organized by hydrounit.
Copies were sent to NWPPC, Review Board and FWP Fisheries Division
Headquarters in Helena.
Provided USFWS with mylar overlays displaying westslope cutthroat
genetic purity to be used with a base map displaying bull trout
distribution, core habitat areas, and land ownership. This product
included all hydrounits in western Montana. Sent copy to FWP
Fisheries Division Headquarters in Helena.
Reviewed various StreamNet products on the Internet including
brochure, data management page, and several white papers.
Created a GIS Highlights for a FWP supervisors and administrators;
this document reviewed the major GIS requests for a two month
period and this along with the quarterly StreamNet reports will
replace the monthly narratives.
Fisheries
Imported the MRIS genetic register database containing electrophoretic
analysis into an Access entry and reporting program for tracking
reference documents (usually in the form of a ltter to the biologist
who collected the fish) from the University of Montana's genetics
lab. Organized all documents with sample refernces by hydrounit
and entered into new Access format. Determined 73 letters from
the 1000+ samples collected in Montana were still missing.
Verified MRIS fish distribution against the new published version of Fishes of Montana by George Holton; sent a set of maps of Class B and C Species of Special Concern to Bill Gould, retired ichthyology professor from Montana State University, to verify distribution against his collection. Also discussed historic fish distribution in Montana and discussed several strategies for that project.
Data input and verification in resident fish databases included
consultant collected data on Big Hole River mainstem; planting
data from Bob McFarland to verify artificial fisheries; incorporated
new fishing pressure data from Bob McFarland; received new habitat
information on species of special concern from biologists and
updated fish species genetic codes from MRIS Genetics Registry
database.
Completed rating program for species and habitat category of Fisheries
data; ran and debugged. Provided Jeff with needed files and structure
to begin programming for sport fisheries category.
NRIS
Internet development included converting and quality checking
all MRIS atlas maps to Adobe Reader PDF format. When converting
the ArcInfo compositions to encapsulated postscript files, ArcInfo
does not convert the page size correctly. Each postscript file
page size had to be corrected using a perl script (psfix). At
present, a PDF file has been made for each MRIS Atlas map. Deleted
trend data files (spawning counts and population estimates) from
InterNet version of MRIS.
Reviewed all NRIS Water Information System web pages, to insure
all links are working correctly. NRIS staff reviewed Webbase
software that facilitates access to a variety of data base files
via the Internet and mapping software applications that will soon
be available. The software may prove useful for accessing MRIS
data interactively on the Internet. Several web-based data base
packages and the new ArcView map server were discussed as possible
candidates.
The MRIS project and data base will be included in presentations
to be made by Water Information System staff at the Watershed
Symposium scheduled for late Fall 1997. The symposium is intended
to expose citizens and land owners to resources and tools available
for watershed planning and management.
Items of Interested Not Funded by StreamNet
Completed update of all state fishing access site (FAS) locations
using FWP Lands database; verified information with State Fishing
Access Site Coordinator; provided regional maps of State FAS with
land ownership, roads, towns and other geographic identifiers.
Working with FWP Design and Construction section to create regional
plots of accessibility to all state owned lands including FAS,
state parks, wildlife management areas and all regional offices
and buildings.
Provided several plots and testimony to department personnel for
presentation to Legislature to acquire 2.0 FTE for GIS support
for the department; bill killed in committee.
PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER
Send all necessary documents and files to Cindy McKay for the
National Hydrographic Database. Visit Olympia when HUCs from
Montana are in the visual pass stage. Coordinate with Cindy McKay
on other Montana Hydrography updates (GAP analysis). Attend StreamNet
meeting in Portland; attend Montana and Idaho GIS Conference in
Bozeman. Complete fisheries update and rate all streams in Montana
based on their habitat and sport fisheries' values. Begin historic
fish species distribution layer, beginning with Class A species
of special concern and look at current fish barriers database
and what we need to do to update it. Produce new atlases for
all HUCS in Montana and send to biologists before field season.
Meet with PSMFC staff to discuss resident fish data exchange
format and reporting program format for MRIS. Do a test of the
GAP data as to how well it predicts fish habitat. Provide input
to StreamNet Genetics adhoc committee. Complete discussions of
how input of resident fish reference documents is to be handled
with FWP Fisheries Division headquarters in Helena. Send out
bull trout edit maps to state and federal biologists for update.
Test MRIS on a server using Windows NT to determine the feasibility
of direct online access via the Internet and SUMMITNET.

VI. Shoshone-Bannock Tribes
PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS
Taught new Fisheries Department personnel what the distributed
system is and how to use it. The majority of my time was spent
locating new sources of information concerning genetics of fish
in the Columbia River basin. The most promising contact has been
Ken Cullens with the Northwest Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
He is in the process of trying to compile a database similar to
what we are pursuing. He is interested in what we are doing and
would be willing to attend a Steering Committee meeting in the
future. I also reviewed the StreamNet test page weekly and participated
in the BPA conference call about the project.
PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER
Continue pursuing genetic information. I will present different
examples that show how genetic data are described at the April
Steering Committee Meeting. This should give everyone a chance
to comment on what direction we can take to include this information
in the database. To help me use my time more efficiently I need
a clear understanding from the Committee as to what exactly we
wish to accomplish (i.e., interim and long range goals).
DATA REQUESTS / RESPONSE LOG
No requests were made for any assistance with StreamNet during
this period. However, I was contacted by the computer lab at
the new Sho-Ban high School and will give a presentation to their
class sometime before the school year is over.
VII. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS:
Information from the StreamNet DS was used in the preparation
of the USFWS "Missing Production Groups Report". An
attempt to download USFWS Idaho hatchery release information from
the StreamNet web site was not successful. I participated in
a BPA arranged conference call regarding StreamNet operations
and the function of the Steering Committee.
StreamNet was sent record of "resident fish" raised
and released by USFWS hatcheries in the Columbia River Basin.
The USFWS Coleman NFH and Red Bluff fisheries office were contacted
regarding releases of resident fish from Coleman NFH in California.
No information has been received from this inquiry.
PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER
Attend Steering Committee meeting in Gladstone.
DATA REQUESTS / RESPONSE LOG
There were no data requests filled by the USFWS during the quarter,
other than what was described under highlights.
VIII. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS
General
WDFW StreamNet staff started off this quarter
by preparing for and staffing a booth at the two-day poster session
of the first Annual Washington State Fish and Wildlife Congress
sponsored by WDFW. Dick O'Connor also served as facilitator for
the small group discussions on fish and fisheries issues. Several
public contacts were made and all available copies of StreamNet:
Report on the Status of Salmon and Steelhead in the Columbia River
Basin - 1995 were eagerly snapped up. We also arranged for
a demonstration of the StreamNet Distributed System for the RAD
Division's new chief (Bob Gibbons) and requested a chance to demonstrate
both this system and StreamNet Online (the Web page) at the next
RAD Quarterly meeting.
Dick participated in the interviews which
resulted in the Project hiring its first Spatial Data manager.
We also invited US Forest Service spatial data expert Shaun McKinney
to come to Olympia and address some of our Habitat Management
and Fish Management biologists on regional spatial data sharing
issues. Through that meeting, Shaun committed to helping us bridge
the differences between the ways the Washington state Timber Fish
and Wildlife initiative collects and stores core habitat data
and the ways other regional entities use.
We continued to participate in developing
many StreamNet products, including the 1996 version of the "Status"
report, and volunteered time to test new features of the Web page
("StreamNet Online"). Some of our progress in cleaning
up and converting hatchery release data was slowed when one of
our data compilers (Dao Tran) transferred to another state agency.
We hope to have her position filled in May and continue that cleanup.
Database Development
Tabular
The data compilers met with Duane Anderson,
Regional Data Manager on January 22 to discuss assessment and
review of adult abundance data provided by NMFS through an ESA-related
contract let two years earlier. A series of data priorities were
determined and a plan was developed to review and either incorporate
or replace the data provided through the NMFS contract.
An updated hatchery facilities database
was provided to Duane and various salmon harvest, age, and historical
salmon and steelhead escapement data files were converted and
exchanged. Compilation of hatchery returns data has been completed
for the Columbia River system and is nearing completion for the
coast and Puget Sound. When complete, that dataset will be exchanged
as well. Steelhead harvest data will be held until next quarter
so that 1995-96 updates (due end of April) can be added.
Spatial
Cindy Burns continued to follow-up on getting
basin maps marked up and returned by field biologists, both state
and tribal. Region 1 and Region 2 maps are in, but some of the
other regions are sending their maps to additional tribal biologists
for more comprehensive updates.
After assisting Martin Hudson with a long,
involved series of iterative tests, the data entry programs and
associated menu system were deemed complete enough for use. She
began entering data from Region 1 maps returned, and was able
to complete those and begin Region 2 data. These maps contain
anadromous fish data, including spawning areas, rearing areas,
and locations of hatchery facilities, other passage (manmade)
facilities, and migration blockages.
Cindy also met with Snohomish County surface
water management, GIS division and discussed information
exchange to prevent duplication of the anadromous fish layer.
They will be sending us their 24K anadromous fish layer to enter
into our database. She also met with Puyallup tribe staff biologists
and discussed exchange of their GIS fish layer. Our data collection
formats are not directly compatible, so this won't be pursued
further in the immediate future.
Systems Development
Tabular
All of the affected internal coding tables
for Washington's "B11" format data were revised to comply
with the newly-released StreamNet Exchange Data Format Document
(Version 97.1). Also, a data entry system and database (including
compatible codes and formats) was developed by Larry Brown so
Bob Woodard could enter Battle Ground office salmon and steelhead
adult stream survey data into electronic format for the first
time. These data will be entered, checked, converted to exchange
formats, and sent along to the StreamNet exchange point.
Testing continued on learning how to program
the Data Junction suite of conversion tools. Initial tests performed
on ancient Washington hatchery spawning records met with remarkable
success. This system will be able to save us a good deal of time
in converting older format files to B11 and then StreamNet formats.
Spatial
Development and testing of the anadromous
fish data entry system was completed. This software package consists
of several menus linked to a master Arc/Info macro language (AML)
program. It is designed to enter anadromous fish upper extent
and blockage information into a point data layer. Included are
tools for entering spawning and rearing information in a similar
manner. A second program then transfers the information into
tabular data files called event tables. The event tables are
designed to be used as standard DBMS tables with relate capabilities
using the 100K river reach code. The system is completely command
level-independent and includes a mapping routine for verifying
data entry.
1. Menu System: A master menu provides
options for entering or digitizing anadromous points and spawning
and rearing points. Also are options for building the required
tabular data files from the points. Other options include help
information and for building check maps. Menus are provided for
specifically for digitizing each set of points. Data (including
barrier code values) are entered specific to each species. Each
menu contains several editing options for moving and adding points.
2. Programs: Three programs drive the
system; one for setting up the environment and selecting chosen
options, one for driving the digitizing menus, and one for building
files for presence, spawning and rearing. All tables meet IRICC
coding requirements and use EPA River Reach Number (RRN) codes.
All tables include the information listed in the data dictionary
except stock status and listing status.
3. Check Map: This is a simple map that
displays all points entered and the data for presence, spawning
and rearing. This checking is critical to maintain data quality.
The next stage is to complete development
and testing of a system to allow user access and plot file generation
from these data. In addition, documentation for the 24K to 100K
data transfer concept and updated data dictionaries and documentation
for the entire WARIS system were drafted during this time.
PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER
We plan to hire a data assistant to replace
Dao Tran and recruit for some additional spatial data entry staff
to prepare for the Visual Pass work which should commence in May,
after the next VP training session. Entry of fish distribution
statewide will continue, as maps from Regions 3-7 arrive. Tabular
data exchange of hatchery return data will likely be next, and
cleanup of hatchery release data will continue in preparation
for exchanging historical steelhead release data. New programs
for user access to the new fish distribution data layers will
be completed and tested, giving WDFW staff the ability to generate
their own maps of desired basins and associated species data.
Finally, StreamNet staff should get the opportunity to introduce
many of their Fish Management Program colleagues to the data and
services provided by the StreamNet project, in hopes of sharing
the technologies developed and generating heightened interest
in this project in Washington state.
DATA REQUEST / RESPONSE LOG
WDFW StreamNet staff record both spatial
data and tabular data requests in a similar format. The cooperation
of Wildlife Management Program and Habitat Management Program
staff was instrumental to both compilation and standardization
of information concerning spatial data requests, or "data
releases". The table on the following pages (Appendix A)
summarizes the people who requested data, the type of information
they needed, and the date the information was delivered as part
of the StreamNet project during the fourth quarter of the project
reporting period. There were 133 data requests fulfilled during
this time period, most of which were spatial data requests (generally
