Fish 513. Seminar 1. April 3. The PRISM Context Jeff Richey
PRISM ISSUES * What will the coupled Puget Sound system look like over time for different spatial units? * How can the advanced information required to address the “futures” questions be mobilized and distributed? * How can advanced information be incorporated into and developed from education? • How can advanced information be incorporated • into the general public and ultimately policy?
Flood of record Flow Verification • Using all available flow data • Hourly, daily, monthly, and annual flows

Evaluating the Impact of Landscape Pattern on Watershed Hydrology Classified “real” Random Patchy Smooth
Patchy – 1998 more water Random - 1998 Smooth – 1998 Less water Accumulated Sum Difference (1990 – 1991) The Difference in the total amount of water flowing past the mouth of the basin between the “real” landscape (1998 classified) and the “simulated”pattern – Random, Patchy, and Smooth A 12% change in the forest composition, impacts the total accumulated flow to a greater degree then does a change in the pattern of the landscape with the same composition.

SRF What are the recovery actions on a WRIA-by-WRIA basis, which in the aggregate over the ESU would provide numerically definable targets for sustainable and harvestable populations of salmon at definable financial costs?
