The goal of the Bristol Bay Regional Water Temperature Monitoring Network is to generate water temperature data which meet the information needs of individual cooperators while simultaneously generating data relevant for assessing changes in stream and lake temperatures at a regional scale. The Network’s short-term (3-5 year) objectives are to: increase data collecting capacity in the Bristol Bay region; institute the use of minimum data collection standards to produce data useful for the analysis of regional trends; compliment and leverage other monitoring efforts; update and submit site-specific metadata annually to the Alaska Online Aquatic Temperature Site project (a statewide metadata clearinghouse); and...

This shapefile is the official boundary of the Southwest Alaska Salmon Habitat Partnership. The boundary was originally developed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and was updated in 2013 to reflect revisions from the Southwest Alaska Salmon Habitat Partnership, a recognized Fish Habitat Partnership (FHP) of the National Fish Habitat Partnership.
Water temperature is one of the most significant factors in the health of stream ecosystems. Temperature plays a critical role in salmonid reproduction and survivorship and is an essential indicator for monitoring the health of Bristol Bay salmon habitats, which support vital subsistence, commercial and sport fisheries. The objectives of this project are to develop an Implementation Strategy for a voluntary participation water temperature monitoring network for Bristol Bay; expand the annual Water Quality/QAPP Recertification training for local monitors to include standardized water temperature monitoring protocols; initiate temperature monitoring in select drainages; and seek long-term funding for a comprehensive...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
