Sample Design: Measure Stream Temperature - Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) 1990-2019
Basics

The details of this Sample Design, including all the parameters used to generate it, are included below. Sample designs must belong to a Study Plan.

Description

IDFG collects stream temperature data from selected sites in the Clearwater River and Salmon River drainages.  Sites include most streams in which IDFG performs fish-in/fish-out monitoring of wild steelhead.  Additions streams are also sampled that span a range of elevation, geomorphic, and vegetative cover found in Idaho’s steelhead streams. Data is analyzed and available for use as environmental co-variates for steelhead effectiveness evaluations across Idaho and for general environmental status and trends monitoring.
 
Objective for this Protocol
1. Provide support and perform hatchery effectiveness monitoring and evaluation to adaptively manage programs across the Clearwater River and Salmon River drainages.
2. Provide support and perform status and trends monitoring of environmental conditions to inform habitat restoration or climate change.

Principal Purpose

MonitoringResources.org provides a structured system to document, store, manage and share methods, protocols, sample designs, study plans and sample locations related to natural resource monitoring and research.

Routine Uses

Used to document and share the who, what, where, when and how of natural resources monitoring and research. Users who wish to provide content, edit content and use the collaboration features of the site must create an account. Account holders must provide their name and email address, which will be viewable by anyone visiting the site.
