White Sturgeon - Acoustic Stations - Data - South Coast SBOT

SBOT = Stewardship Baseline Objectives Tool

Fixed acoustic receiver station locations for monitoring adult sturgeon movements, migration and habitat use. Some stations are deployed year-round and others are deployed seasonally in migration corridors or at spawning sites.

The delineated habitats describe locations of fixed station acoustic receivers that are used to assess spawning, feeding  and overwintering habitat use, use of the large lakes, estuary and marine habitats, and migration or movement patterns. Adult sturgeon have been surgically implanted with acoustic transmitters to monitor their larger scale movement patterns and their use of critical feeding, overwintering and spawning habitats. This ten year monitoring program is in its 6th year. Many interesting migration and habitat use patterns are being discovered through the program.

White Sturgeon - White Sturgeon Spawning Habitats - Data - South Coast SBOT

SBOT = Stewardship Baseline Objectives Tool

Habitats where sturgeon spawning has been confirmed or suspected. The described habitats identify locations where sturgeon eggs and larvae have been collected historically and recently.  To better understand the effectiveness and reproductive capacity of the spawn, it’s important that spawning habitat assessments are completed on a regular schedule as the river undergoes habitat changes, especially in the gravel reach where sturgeon spawn. The Herrling Side Channel location is periodically assessed (2 years on, 2 years off) for this reason. Other locations have been intermittently assessed in the past, but are planned for regular assessment in the future.

Oregon Spotted Frog - Critical Habitats on Federal Lands - Data - South Coast SBOT

The Stewardship Baseline Objectives Tool (SBOT) is a visualization and assessment tool to clarify and communicate baseline information and stewardship objectives for priority resource values. Currently, the tool is developed for the South Coast Region. The intent of the tool is to assess the current, past and future state of stewardship objectives to support operational, tactical and strategic management decisions for these priority resource values.

Critical Habitat is defined in the federal Oregon Spotted Frog Recovery Strategy and has been mapped for the 4 populations known at the time the strategy was published. One of those sites (DND Aldergrove) is currently considered extirpated. Three other sites (Beaver Pond, Smith Falls Creek Wetland, Cheam Lake Wetlands) have been assessed as potential habitats for future translocations and therefore are mapped as Recovery Habitats for the Oregon Spotted Frog. Environmental DNA studies have been conducted in potential habitat to detect trace amounts of Oregon Spotted Frog DNA. Positive detections at three locations (Derby Lowlands, Nicomen Slough – Norrish Creek, and Pitt Addington WMA) are also mapped as Recovery Habitat until frog presence can be confirmed by breeding surveys. These Recovery Habitats may be important to the recovery of this species and impacts to these areas should be carefully considered and discussed with species experts.

The Habitat Quality and Quantity Index (HQQI) was calculated for each Landscape Unit and Spotted Owl Population Unit. The HQQI is used to provide a standardize score from 0 to 100 (lowest to highest score) that can be used to rank habitats for recovery actions and to assess potential habitat impacts. See the Spotted Owl Web Viewer for more information.

Currently, the tool is developed for the South Coast Region. The intent of the tool is to assess the current, past and future state of stewardship objectives to support operational, tactical and strategic management decisions for these priority resource values.

 

The Oregon Spotted Frog Recovery Team includes members of the Toronto Zoo, Greater Vancouver Zoo, and Greater Vancouver Aquarium where we have three assurance populations of Oregon Spotted Frogs. These three institutions also breed animals that are released into the wild to augment existing populations. In the future, the products of this captive breeding work may also be used to create new populations in Recovery Habitats. Frogs are released into existing populations or to a restoration site in Agassiz.

Grizzly Bear - Core Security Areas - Data - South Coast SBOT

Core Security Areas are defined as areas that have adequate Grizzly Bear habitat with minimum human use. They are large enough to accommodate a female Grizzly Bear’s daily foraging requirements. The integrity of the security area is sensitive to the extent and spatial arrangement of developments including roads, settlements, recreation areas and industrial areas. These are defined as areas that are roadless and in patches >= 10km2.

Grizzly Bear - Ecosection Biogeoclimatic Variant Capability - Data - South Coast SBOT

Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) Zones (Variant) are distinguished as either High or Moderate sensitivity: High (CWH, ICH, ESSF, SBS); Moderate (MS, MH, IDF); Low (all other BEC Zones). Mid-seral is assigned as per BEC forest age criteria from the Biodiversity Guidebook, and further classified for potential forage suitability. 'Low' forage suitability (dark, dense stands with little understory) are considered as 'mid-seral dense conifer'. Mid-seral condition is tracked when projecting future forest structure and limits to long-term grizzly bear forage supply can be noted.
