Decision analysis to develop and refine restoration strategies for anadromous fish in californias central valley: enhancing SDM capabilitiesproject period: december 20, 2023, through september 30, 2028PROJECT abstract: recipient will incorporate coarse and fine resolution decision support tools into an adaptive management framework for identifying anadromous fish restoration priorities for the central valley project improvement act (cvpia) fish program. In addition, recipient will assist the US bureau or reclamation (usbr) BAY-delta area office in developing capacity to conduct structured decision making to assist in achieving program objectives. Activities to be performed - recipient will work with the usbr BAY delta area office staff, members of the science integration team (SIT), cooperating experts, and contractors, to develop a restoration strategy for o. Mykiss evaluate restoration scenarios for anadromous sturgeon refine chinook salmon, decision support models, work with science integration team subcommittees and species-specific experts to refine model inputs develop a process for synthesizing monitoring data and incorporating the revised information into the dsms and continue to provide training for program personnel and stakeholders to use the tools and apply the principals of SDM and adaptive resource management. Deliverables and expected outcomes -recipient will provide usbr with the following deliverables:1)an integrated chinook and o. Mykiss coarse resolution decision support model in r, matlab, or similar programming language.2)parameterized coarse resolution decision support model for sturgeon in r, matlab, or similar programming language.3)technical documentation resulting from the SIT prioritization process and other activities, which will include any proposed changes to the chinook salmon restoration strategy, the newly developed o. Mykiss restoration strategy, and results from scenario evaluations for sturgeon.4)training of program personnel, in person or remotely, in structured decision making, decision modeling, computer coding, and conduction quantitative sensitivity analyses with r or similar software.
