This review addresses whether the Plan's approach and analyses are credible and consistent with accepted scientific standards, whether Plan assumptions are supported by best available science, and whether uncertainties are characterized adequately. IMST approached these issues from the perspectives of ODFW's Native Fish Conservation Policy goals"--Page 1.Includes bibliographical references (pages 18-19).Mode of access: Internet from the Oregon Government Publications Collection.Text in English

Scientific Review in Oregon: A summary of the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team's Technical Workshop
Get PDFThis report synthesizes the findings of a workshop, held by Oregon’s Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) in January, 2015, to discuss state-level science review and how to best formulate a panel to conduct scientific review of a broad suite of natural resources management activities for the state of Oregon. Invited participants included representatives of most of the state’s natural resource agencies as well as others with familiarity of review systems. The workshop identified numerous benefits of scientific review, grouped in four categories: the benefits of the scientific process; a contribution to more ethical behavior; an ability to overcome institutional limitations; and the role in helping inform and facilitate policy decisions. The workshop compared and contrasted five different models of scientific review that operate at either state or national levels. Aspects of the panels that were compared included: appointing authorities; committee selection criteria and process; funding sources; productivity; level of financial support for staff and panelists; and peer review requirements

Considerations for the use of ecological indicators in restoration effectiveness evaluation
Get PDFThis report focuses on the use of ecological indicators to evaluate ecological restoration effectiveness, particularly restoration aimed at salmonid recovery and watershed restoration efforts under the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. Part 1 addresses conceptual issues including how indicators can be linked to monitoring, how conceptual models can be incorporated into indicator frameworks, determining monitoring questions and selecting indicators, and inferring cause and effects from indicators. Part 2 discusses technical and analytical challenges that may arise when using indicators. Part 3 discusses how indicators can be used to report and describe status and trends of ecosystem health. The appendices includes a summary of large-scale restoration efforts and the indicators these programs have used in the United States. These case studies include the Chesapeake Bay Program, South Florida Ecosystem Restoration, CALFED Bay-Delta Program, and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.This report was written by the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. Information on report preparation and external review are included in the report.KEYWORDS: environmental indicators, effectiveness monitoring, reporting indicators, restoration, ecological restoration, ecological indicator

Conservation hatcheries and supplementation strategies for recovery of wild stocks of salmonids: report of a workshop : Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team, Portland, OR, June 19-21, 2000
No full textThe Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) convened regional leaders in hatchery management and salmon recovery on June 19-21, 2000 for a scientific workshop on Conservation Hatcheries and Supplementation Strategies for the Recovery of Wild Stocks of Salmonids. The purpose was to provide better information (a) to help the IMST with its work on hatchery reports, and (b) to help policy makers as they consider proposals for the State of Oregon to engage in a program of supplementation. The goal of the workshop was to identify, clarify and compile the scientific basis on which conservation hatcheries and supplementation strategies may help accomplish the mission of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds.
This report was prepared by the IMST. It was reviewed by workshop participants and revised by IMST accordingly. It does not necessarily reflect consensus on all points by workshop participants. IMST alone is responsible for the report. The report includes abstracts of plenary scientific presentations and case histories of supplementation projects, a brief description of the Oregon Conservation Hatchery Improvement Proposal (CHIP), and the results of three
concurrent work group discussions. These work group discussions focused on:
(a) conditions under which supplementation could be used in wild salmonid recovery, (b) appropriate methods for supplementation, and (c) Approaches for the evaluation of supplementation over time.This report was written by the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds.Keywords: Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watershed, conservation hatcheries, fish hatcheries, supplementation, wild vs. hatchery fis

Defining and evaluating recovery of OCN coho salmon stocks: implications for rebuilding stocks under the Oregon Plan : summary of a workshop organized by the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team, August 4-5, 1999
No full textThe Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) convened 19 regional leaders in salmon management and research in a workshop on Goals for Recovery of Oregon Coastal Native (OCN) Stocks on August 4-5, 1999. The main purposes of the workshop were to 1) define the concept of recovery and 2) to identify criteria for evaluating recovery. Although the focus of the workshop was OCN coho salmon, the definitions and criteria for recovery apply to all wild, native salmonid species and populations. This report summarizes the conclusions and recommendations from the workshop.This report was written by the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds.Keywords: coho salmon, commercial harvest, Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds, habitat, commercial fisheries, Endangered Species Act, monitoring, risk of extinction, Pacific Fisheries Management Council, recovery, Oregon coastal natural coh
