PROPOSED SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE:
Accurate data and information is essential to identify significant predation issues and get federal authority to take management actions to reduce predation on important fish stocks. Work will include capturing and marking pinnipeds to document movements and foraging patterns; aerial and boat surveys to determine pinniped distribution and abundance in the river; fecal sample collection to identify species and levels of fish
consumption; predation monitoring and hazing to limit predation where possible; and removing known predatory individual pinnipeds as provided for under federal law to the State of Oregon.
HOW THIS FURTHERS THE AGENCY MISSION OR GOALS:
ODFW’s mission is to protect and enhance Oregon's fish and wildlife and their habitats for use and enjoyment by present and future generations.
Successful management and sustainable use of fishery resources requires a thorough understanding of factors that affect fish populations, including predation by growing pinniped populations.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES TO QUANTIFY THE SUCCESS OF THE PROPOSAL:
Indicators of success of the proposed work include identifying and evaluating significant predation impacts of Oregon’s fishery resources. Obtaining accurate information on fish consumption by pinnipeds will contribute to fishery management and conservation plans and actions. Understanding the impacts of pinniped predation on fish stocks will allow appropriate management actions intended to reduce predation losses.
This package relates to KPM 2 (percent of the license buying population with fishing licenses and/or tags), KPM 5 (personal income generated from commercial fishery landings), and KPM 7 (percent of fish species of concern – listed as threatened, endangered, or sensitive – being monitored).
STATUTORY REFERENCE:
The proposed program enhancement furthers conservation and use of fish and wildlife resources as governed by ORS Chapters 496-498 and ORS Chapters 506-513. It also operates according to authorities granted the state under the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (1972).
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REASONS FOR REJECTION:
This proposal fills existing gaps in a program with the minimum staffing and expenses necessary. No alternative project design was deemed probable for success.
IMPACT OF NOT FUNDING:
Not conducting this work will likely lead to greater predation on Oregon’s fishery resources by increasing pinniped populations. Without the information collected by this project, effective management actions to reduce predation losses cannot be identified, proposed to federal authorities or implemented.
EQUIPMENT TO BE PURCHASED (IF APPLICABLE):
Computers, phones, workstations, and associated supplies will be purchased for the proposed positions.
STAFFING IMPACT
Establish one (1113116) LD full-time Natural Resource Specialist 2 position (1.00 FTE).
Establish two (1113117, 1113118) LD seasonal full-time (12 months) Experimental Biological Aide positions (1.00 FTE).
QUANTIFYING RESULTS
The effectiveness of this program will be measured by successfully implementing a pinniped monitoring and management program at Bonneville Dam including capturing and marking pinnipeds to document movements and foraging patterns; aerial and boat surveys to determine pinniped distribution and abundance in the river; fecal sample collection to identify species and levels of fish consumption; predation monitoring and hazing to limit
predation where possible; and removal of known predatory individual pinnipeds as provided for under federal law to the State of Oregon. Results will be measured annually after the end of each field season (by November of each year).
