This data set only maps where analyses have been performed; it does not give information about the analyses.. Purpose -- Created to provide a geographic coverage of the areas in which federally funded watershed analyses have taken place.

Fish Survey Data by Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Aquatic Inventories Project.

From the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Aquatic Inventories Project this webpage makes available stream survey data in GIS format

Abstract -- This excel spreadsheet presents 3 methods of calculating a general hatchery coho marine survival rate (smolt release to adult caught or returned to freshwater). Two methods are specific to hatchery coho released in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU, and the third is for hatchery coho released in the Oregon Production Index (OPI) area. The OPI area includes the Pacific Ocean from Leadbetter Point Washington to the U.S./Mexico border, as well as the river basins that enter this section of ocean. All three methods give generally similar results and all have strengths and weaknesses. Although all three methods are presented, ODFW staff felt that the OPI method had the fewest weaknesses and this is the method that should be used.. Purpose -- Estimate an ESU wide marine survival rate for hatchery coho.

Abstract -- The excel spreadsheet data file associated with this report summarizes releases of hatchery coho juveniles in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU for the period 1990 through 2003. The data is reported by release year and is summarized at 3 geographic levels; by population, by monitoring area, and total for the ESU. Juvenile hatchery coho releases are grouped into 3 size classes; unfed fry, fry/fingerlings, and smolts (see below for definitions). Data for the 1980 through 1989 release years is included for the ESU totals, monitoring area totals, and for the Yaquina, Siuslaw and Coos populations. . Purpose -- Releases numbers for hatchery coho in the Oregon Coast ESU, 1980 to 2003. See "Definitions" page in spreadsheet.

Abstract -- The excel spreadsheet data file associated with this report summarizes returns of coho adults and jacks to hatcheries and associated fish traps in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU, for the period 1990 through 2003. In some cases coho are collected at locations remote from the hatchery. The number of "off-site" collected fish brought to a hatchery for use in the hatcheries broodstock is reported separately from fish that swam into the hatchery volitionally. Such "off-site" locations are generally well removed from the hatchery location. These fish should be assumed to be wild fish although we don't always know for sure........Purpose: The data presented is the best available information, and is appropriate to represent returns of coho to hatcheries and associated fish traps in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU. This data is a summary of the information available in the HMIS system. Un-summarized data, including specific date, size and location of release, is available by contacting ODFW hatchery staff located at the Salem headquarters.

Abstract -- Spreadsheet documenting OCN coho harvest rates in ocean and freshwater fisheries from 1970-2003

This webpage provides access to Maps, Data and Tools developed by the Interagency Regional Monitoring Program for the Northwest Forest Plan.

Abstract -- This data set maps the spatial extent of watershed assessments performed by local groups following the procedures in the OWEB Watershed Assessment Manual within the Oregon Coastal Coho ESU. This data set only maps where assessments have been performed; it does not give information about the assessments.. Purpose -- Created to provide a geographic coverage of the areas in which local groups performed watershed assessments that adhere to the OWEB Watershed Assessment Manual.

Abstract -- In 1998, as part of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife began a program to monitor marine and freshwater survival of naturally produced coho salmon. To obtain this information, adult and smolt traps are operated at six sites in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU. See pdf document for a detailed description of the project.. Purpose -- To provide information on the marine and freshwater survival of naturally produced coho in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU.

Abstract -- These are summary data of snorkeling and electrofishing surveys as part of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) began a project in 1998 to monitor juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in Oregon coastal streams. Sites are randomly selected using Environmental Mapping and Assessment Program (EMAP) protocol (Stevens and Olsen 1999). The EMAP site selection process is used to insure a spatially balanced and unbiased selection of sample sites in stream reaches for each monitoring area. . Purpose -- The project is designed to monitor current status and long-term trends in abundance of juvenile coho in five coastal Gene Conservation Areas.

Abstract -- Yearly means, percentiles, and sample sizes for instream habitat variables sampled at random survey sites in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU. Purpose -- To provide information on trends in instream habitat conditions in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU.

Abstract -- Results of T-Tests comparing either pre-restoration instream habitat conditions to post-restoration habitat conditions or post-restoration conditions to reference conditions. . Purpose -- To provide information on the effectiveness of habitat restoration to the 2005 Coastal Coho Assessment.

Abstract -- Mean, percentiles, and sample sizes for habitat variables collected by ODFW for different spatial scales or landuses within the Oregon Coast Coho ESU.

Abstract -- Geographic coordinates and habitat characteristics of ODFW stream habitat reference sites in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU.. Purpose -- To provide site specific data on reference site habitat conditions used for the 2005 Oregon Coastal Coho Assessment.

In an effort to make Oregon’s Natural Resource information more accessible, NRIMP (Natural Resource Information Management Program) has created NRIMP’s Data Clearinghouse website. This website will provide a centralized accumulation and dispersal exchange of natural resource data. This increased availability of data will support the Oregon Plan Assessment process, as well as other resource management efforts. The Data Clearinghouse website houses statewide reports such as watershed assessments and rapid bioassessments, data, GIS maps, and other natural resource information, especially those which are OWEB (Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board) funded, from Watershed Councils, or many other agencies. Along with NRIMP of ODFW (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife), this unified effort was done in coordination with OWEB, and INR (Institute for Natural Resources) at Oregon State University (OSU)
