In November, 2003 ODF contracted with the Institute for Natural Resources (INR) to support the SAH Work Group. INR designed and oversaw a process for the SAH Work Group that facilitated dialogue among interested parties, scientists, land management professionals, and policy makers. The goal was to illuminate the SAH policy, identify issues and develop recommendations while respecting the perspectives held by all parties.

• 5. [Article] The Oregon plan for salmon and watersheds: a perspective.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Oregon plan for salmon and watersheds: a perspective. Author: Institute for Natural Resources, Salwasser, Hal, Achterman, Gail, Arha, Kaush The Oregon Plan is a state-led strategy for restoring and conserving native salmonids and the watersheds within which they spend all or parts of their lives. It evolved from work that began in the 1980s on watershed health and salmon conservation and was propelled into high gear by proposed and eventual listings of native salmonids in Oregon under the federal Endangered Species Act during the mid-1990s. The Plan has expanded in scope and activities since then, and now encompasses all native salmonids and all watersheds in the state. It has spawned new commitments and investments from private landowners and generated significant improvements in state agency coordination related to salmonids and watershed health. The accomplishments of the Oregon Plan create an unparalleled foundation for state-led species conservation. The work remaining creates abundant opportunity for new leaders to add their embellishments to the fine work of others to date. Title: The Oregon plan for salmon and watersheds: a perspective.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Environmental indicators for the Oregon plan for salmon and watersheds Author: Dent, Liz, Salwasser, Hal, Achterman, Gail The INR worked with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the federal Environmental Protection Agency to propose an integrated study design for collecting data on Native Fish, Indexes of Biotic Integrity and Water Quality, and Riparian Area Condition and Function. Estimated costs are provided at various scales. The reporting time frame will depend on the indicator and the sample design. A reporting time frame of 5–10 years would allow ecosystems to respond perceptibly to both natural disturbances and management activities and policies. Shorter reporting periods are likely to reveal very little change and yet increase costs.
