  1. Developing the Matrixand Sampling Plan for theSan Joaquin River Tributariesand ReservoirsFMP Annual MeetingJune 6, 2007 Margy Gassel, Robert Brodberg, Sue Roberts Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment Elana Silver, Alyce Ujihara, Jessica Kaslow California Department of Health Services With input from Gary Ichikawa & Billy Jakl, MLML/DFG; Jennifer Hunt, SFEI; and Sherri Norris, California Indian Environmental Alliance

  2. Key CriteriaDeveloping the 2007 FMP Sampling Plan Fishing Activity Fishing Pressure/Popularity Stakeholder Input Shore-based fishing

  3. Step 1DHS FISHING ACTIVITIES & NEEDS ASSESSMENTSEnsure sampling plan reflects actual fishing activities and local input

  4. 2007 Target Sampling Area Stanislaus Merced Fresno Madera Mariposa Tuolumne Calaveras Amador El Dorado • San Joaquin River tributaries and reservoirs (9 new counties) • Also revisited Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties

  5. DHS Fishing Activities and Needs Assessments • Topics: • Fishing locations • Species consumed • Shore or boat fishing • Ethnic groups • Estimates of fishing activity • Methods: • Key informant interviews • Focus groups (Hmong) • DFG creel data (minimal) • Other sources (reports, fishing guidebooks) • Fishing Assessment Report • SFEI website

  6. Key Informant Interviews In 2007, DHS met with: • Local Health Officers/Public Health Directors • Environmental Health Directors • Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program (FSNEP) Coordinators • Fresno Bee Fishing Column author • Dept of Fish & Game wardens, lieutenants, and biologists • State and County Parks • Forest Service • Army Corps of Engineers • Dept. of Water Resources • East Bay MUD • Irrigation Districts

  7. Warden Survey

  8. Focus Groups • 3 Hmong groups in Fresno • Anglers (men only) • Women (consumers of local fish) • Anglers (mixed, mostly men) Focus group with Hmong women, Fresno, May 2007

  9. DFG Creel Surveys • Reservoirs • Jenkinson Lake • Pardee Reservoir • Folsom Lake • New Melones Lake • Rivers • American • Stanislaus

  10. Fishing ActivityProvided by DHS

  11. Step 2 Compile Historical Data

  12. Step 3Enter Historical Data and Data Gaps in Matrix

  13. Step 4Evaluating Matrix Information • Reviewed matrix in depth • Determined methods for interpreting inconsistent information • Fishing pressure numeric scores • Percent shore-based fishing

  14. Review FP Information for Consistency

  15. Step 5Score Criteria in Matrix • Scored fishing pressure • Based on numeric scores, when available • Or triangulation • Scored additional criteria for potential sample sites • Within ERP management units • Shore-based fishing, including “percent” when available • Stakeholder source (Hmong or other anglers; tribes)

  16. Hmong Fishing Sites

  17. Additional Criteria • Data needed to complete advisories • Advisories planned or in progress • Tributaries and their reservoirs • Spatial/other considerations • Water bodies related to advisories • Represent counties • No other means of sampling

  18. Step 6Total Scores • Prioritized sampling sites by scores • Criteria modified slightly from last year • Data Gaps • Fishing Pressure • Stakeholder source • Shore-based fishing • Spatial considerations • Within project area (reservoirs) • Other (e.g., counties)

  19. Matrix with ScoresPriority Sites

  20. Matrix with ScoresLow-scoring Sites

  21. Step 7Input from Gary on Feasibility

  22. Step 8Sampling Site SelectionCooperative Decision-Making • Periodic conference calls • Discuss matrix and options • Consensus on all sampling site selections

  23. Sampling Requests from Tribes • Buena Vista Tribe: Mokelumne River • Wetland on the reservation leads to river • Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians: Tuolumne River (in general) • North Fork Rancheria: San Joaquin River; bass and trout • Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians: two creeks on Rancheria that flow into San Joaquin • California Valley Miwok: landless but gather in wetlands

  24. Priority Sampling Sites & Target Species for DFG Samplers

  25. Improvements this Year • More information on fishing activities • Still missing consistent fishing pressure and activity info for all potential sites • Usually able to use maps to locate water bodies • Able to address “last-minute” input • Consensus decisions

  26. Comments/QuestionsDiscussion
