Willamette FIP Effectiveness Monitoring Framework Active

By Oregon Water Science Center March 18, 2022

The goal of this project is to develop an effectiveness monitoring framework that can be used to inform monitoring and data collection for the Willamette River Focused Investment Partnership (WFIP) Effectiveness Monitoring Program. The USGS is developing this monitoring framework in collaboration with the Benton Soil and Water Conservation District (BSWCD), Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF), Portland State University (PSU), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), and Meyer Memorial Trust (MMT). The monitoring framework will describe monitoring indicators, metrics, approaches, and considerations for assessing changes in ecological and physical habitat conditions in the Willamette River. The focus will be on conditions that are directly influenced by restoration actions and related to the WFIP goal of expanding and enhancing habitats used by native fishes.

Water temperature data to support effectiveness monitoring of channel and floodplain restoration projects along the Willamette River, Oregon

Continuous water-temperature data were collected at multiple sites along the Middle Fork and mainstem Willamette Rivers between Jasper and Newberg, Oregon, to support effectiveness monitoring for a large-scale channel and floodplain restoration program (Willamette Focused Investment Partnership, WFIP). Continuous water temperature loggers were deployed at a subset of WFIP restoration sites where r
