Protocols and Procedures
OBMEP maintains a set of protocols for all of our research activities that were developed according to the Monitoring Strategy for the Upper Columbia Basin by Tracy Hillman, with reference to the methods of the Collaboreative Systemwide Monitoring & Evaluation Program (CSMEP) and the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP). To ensure compatibility with other regional and basin wide projects currently underway, we coordinated with multiple disciplines and agencies throughout the Okanogan River Basin, Columbia Cascade Province, and Columbia River Basin. These protocols have undergone stringent testing by OBMEP biologists and field technicians and have been in use since our formation in 2004, though they will be reviewed in full in 2012. OBMEP is utilizing a new website to document and share the protocols that we use to monitor fish populations and habitat in the Okanogan Basin. The website is www.monitoringmethods.org, and should be checked periodically for current protocols by search for the keyword "OBMEP."

Additional Reports
The following reports contain information beyond the scope of OBMEP, but the information is vital to understanding salmon population attributes and habitat characteristics in the Okanogan River Basin. The secondary research and analysis from these documents contributes to OBMEP's understanding of current trends.
