Outreach/Tech Transfer
• Both DAMARS & STARMAP have same tech transfer objectives, but have different emphases:– STARMAP -- learning materials– DAMARS -- demonstration projects
SAC 2004 30
State of the ProgramOutreach
• Success in tech transfer depends on having States, Tribes, (& EPA) use techniques & tools– Foster client use of both design & analysis tools
• “build it & they will come” doesn’t work
• Need active participation in target projects
– Cooperative agreement• Work with EPA
• Work on EPA-sponsored projects
• Work on projects share EPA goals
• Use data generated by EPA projects
SAC 2004 31
State of the Program Outreach
• Collaboration that brings statistical perspective to multi-disciplinary research team– Source for new challenges that drives the
development of new methodology & theory– Requires high level of commitment– Substantial time requirement– Example: GLEI, an EaGLE STAR Program
SAC 2004 32
Collaboration with GLEIGreat Lakes Environmental Indicators
• Kathi Georgitis visited GLEI in November– Identified opportunities for collaboration
• where GLEI supplies data & ecological insight• DAMARS statistical insight

SAC 2004 44
SAC 2004 45
ODFW
• Focus is on Coho Salmon– High visibility issue in NW (OR, WA, CA,
BLM, BPA, USFS, USFWS, NOAA, USEPA)– Rotating panel GRTS is basic sampling design
for The Oregon Plan for Salmon & Watersheds– ODFW, OWEB, ODEQ have become our
advocates

Pacific Rim Salmon key elements
• A sampling design that imposes three hierarchical levels of organization uniquely defined by biology, space, and time (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3).
• An approach that implements sampling within each Level using fixed and rotating panels tailored to provide statistically valid assessments of status and trends.
SAC 2004 68
Pacific Rim Salmon key elements
• An approach that, to the greatest extent possible, provides for a seamless integration of existing monitoring programs with new monitoring initiatives.
• A focus on four key parameters (distribution, diversity, abundance, and productivity) that can provide an integrated measure of salmon population viability.
SAC 2004 69
Pacific Rim Salmon key elements
