1. FCRPS Adaptive Management Implementation Plan (AMIP)
5. Adaptive Management Implementation Plan Accelerates and enhances certain BiOp mitigation actions
Enhances research and monitoring to evaluate fish status and habitat conditions
A new contingency plan to address the possibility of a significant decline in the abundance of listed fish and biological triggers that result in contingency actions
Dam breaching studies as a contingency of last resort
Ongoing commitments to regional collaboration and science review
9. Abundance of naturally produced (not hatchery produced) adult SR spr/sum Chinook Salmon at Lower Granite Dam (1979 – 2008).
Data are from dam counts, with estimate of wild fraction based on scale analysis.
Note: Low abundance in 1994 & 1995 and high abundance in 2001-2004.Abundance of naturally produced (not hatchery produced) adult SR spr/sum Chinook Salmon at Lower Granite Dam (1979 – 2008).
Data are from dam counts, with estimate of wild fraction based on scale analysis.
Note: Low abundance in 1994 & 1995 and high abundance in 2001-2004.
10. 4-Year rolling average of abundance of naturally produced (not hatchery produced) adult SR spr/sum Chinook Salmon at Lower Granite Dam (1982 – 2008).
Data are four year average of previous slide (i.e., average of 2003, 04, 05, and 06 adult returns would make up the 2006 4-year average.
Note: Low abundance in 1994 & 1995 translate into low four-year averages in 1996, 97, 98, and 99.
High abundance in 2001-2004 translate into high four year averages in 2001 through 2006.

11. Tripping the Early Warning Indicator Within 120 days of NOAA Fisheries determining that an Early Warning Indicator was tripped, the Action Agencies (in coordination with NOAA Fisheries, the RIOG, and other regional parties) will:
Evaluate the likely status of the species in question;
Determine whether a Significant Decline Trigger is likely to be tripped;
If so, determine what Rapid Response Actions to take
Implement actions as soon practicable (not later than 12 months after indicator observed)
12. Within 90 days of NOAA Fisheries’ determining that the Significant Decline Trigger was tripped, the Action Agencies (in coordination with NOAA Fisheries, the RIOG, and other regional parties) would:
Determine which Rapid Response Actions to take for a particular species; and
Implement the actions as soon as practicable (not later than 12 months after the trigger occurs)
