SUMMARY OF TRIBUTARY ECOSYSTEM PROVISIONS 



NMFS Proposed Recovery Plan 



Recovery Team Recommendations 



Monitoring and 

 Evaluation 



The PAC FISH monitoring commillee should 

 oversee experimental design, data collection, 

 quality control, analysis methodologies, and 

 reporting. Include: Implementation monitoring 

 and reporting for all actions that may affect 

 listed salmon or their designated critical 

 habitat: effectiveness monitoring and reporting 

 annually for groups of actions (by activity type, 

 time, and subwatershed or watershed) that may 

 affect listed salmon: permanent photo- 

 monitoring plots: and plan and begin validation 

 monitoring to determine whether the 

 assumptions used informing the aquatic 

 ecosystem strategy described in this Recovery 

 Plan are valid. 



NMFS, the USFS. and the BLM should 

 establish a monitoring quality control team to 

 conduct and oversee random spot checks of the 

 implementation of P AC FISH and guidelines 

 from the USFS Land and Resource 

 Management Plans (LRMPs), NMFS' March I, 

 1995 Biological Opinion on the LRMPs, and 

 BLM Land Use Plans. 



The USFS and BLM, in coordination with the 

 Habitat Committee and the ICBEMP. should 

 identify and protect enough pristine or 

 relatively pristine, well-studied watersheds as 

 'reference areas" against which the effects of 

 restoration and land management projects can 

 be measured (may require 10-15 watersheds).
