Monitoring - LCEP Ecosystem Monitoring Program (EMP) habitat status & trends

This summary report describes the Columbia River Estuary Ecosystem Classification, which was created through a collaborative effort between the University of Washington's Wetland Ecosystem Team, the USGS Water Sciences Center, and the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership.  While useful for science professionals, this document is primarily intended to provide non-technical professionals and other audiences with an introduction to the Classification and how it can be used.

This synthesis report focuses analyses on two main components of the EMP: variability in the status and trends data for the habitat structure, habitat hydrology, fish and fish prey components collected between 2005 and 2013 and a synthesis of food web dynamics in the LCRE collected between 2011 to 2013. In 2013, a synthesis report was completed that provided an analysis of all EMP data collected between 2005 and 2010 (Sagar et al.

Draft of habitat monitoring plan for the lower Columbia River, prepared by the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership for Bonneville Power Administration. The purpose of this plan is to provide a detailed, statistically valid sampling plan for status and trends monitoring of salmon habitats. It also supports restoration action effectiveness research.
