1 Quileute Tribe Department of Natural Resources Sanctuary Advisory Council La Push, Washington March 2017

2 OUTLINE Quileute Department of Natural Resources Organization Program Areas Partnerships Marine Program Forage Marine Debris HAB Monitoring

3 Purpose and Goals of QNR Assure that Tribal Treaty Resources are protected and conserved for future generations through developing: Regulations and Management Plans that identify treaty natural resources, conduct inventory and monitoring activities and if applicable manner of harvest Relationships that engage Co-managers at state and federal levels so that their respective activities and regulations are consistent with treaty rights and resource sustainability

4 7 member Natural Resource Committee (elected officials) Program Layout Director/Deputy Director 3 Administrative Support 11 Staff with degrees in Environmental Sciences (Fisheries, Biology, Geology, Hydrology, Law etc..) 3 Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement staff 7 Technicians (fisheries, shellfish, timber)

5 Program Areas Fish Management Timber Fish and Wildlife Management Hatchery Production Water Quality Monitoring Marine Program Enrollment Fish and Wildlife Enforcement

6 Marine Species Management Marine Species Management Management Plans/Agreements Endangered Species Act and Critical Habitat listings Stock Assessments Harvest Allocation Develop Regulation Salmon Halibut Crab Sablefish Clams

7 Timber, Fish and Wildlife Timber Forest Practices: Roads, Timber Harvest Monitor populations and health of: elk, deer, cougar, fisher and others as needed Noxious Weed Eradication and control Cedar Bark Harvest Archeological Surveys Wetland Surveys

8 Surveying returned lands (move to higher ground)for significant artifacts and wetlands

9 Gathering Spring Cedar Harvest

10

11 Collecting Brood stock is a Team Effort!

12 Lonesome Creek hatchery staff coordinate with Washington state hatchery facilities Summer Chinook Winter Steelhead

13 Water Quality Monitoring Parameters Turbidity Oxygen ph Flow Temperature Conductivity Macroinverebrates

14

15 Marine Program Forage Fish Marine Debris and Derelict Gear Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) monitoring Where we monitor Collaborative efforts HAB event 2015 Protoperidinium-flagellate

16 Forage Fish sampling substrate for eggs

17 Marine Debris Project- NOAA, TNC and Quileute Tribe Aerial Survey and retrieval 2016 Pots to be recycled

18 AREA OF QUILEUTE HARVEST FOR SHELLFISH and OTHER SPECIES WHERE WE SAMPLE Audubon WDFW

19 What we focus our efforts on: Common Marine Biotoxin producing species along our coast Diarrhetic Shellfish Poison (DSP) Paralytic Shellfish Poison

20 And then there is ASP

21 We sample seawater and shellfish, at each station we also measure: Temp Conductivity Salinity Chlorophyll Phytoplankton sample Dissolved Domoic acid Weather and sea conditions

22 The Quileute Fishing fleet helps us sample crab

23 Or we use our vessel to access sample stations or check on assets such as Cha Ba

24 HAB Event 2015

25

26 Cross calibration and training occurs annually with other HAB monitoring programs along the coast- WDFW, Makah, Quileute Tribes, and the Quinault Nation

27 Collaborative opportunities

28 Quileute Shellfish Technician and Marine Biologist go to Sea: University of Washington R/V T.G. Thompson

29 OCNMS Seasonal Mooring Support Quileute staff conduct HAB sampling at each mooring and provide support for mooring placement, maintenance and retrieval OCNMS Photos

30 Quileute staff aboard the NOAA research ship Bell M. Shimada-added on to Sardine and Hake survey to conduct HAB biotoxin monitoring-hab event 15

31 Environmental Sample Processor UW APL and NOAA successfully deploy ESP mooring in 2016 (near Cha Ba) Quileute staff participated in the deployment Provided real-time data on presence and concentration of biotoxin producing species Recovered in October 2016

32 Biological Sensing Looking forward: Environmental Sensing Platform (ESP) automated toxic species detection on moorings real-time assessment of risk placement at initiation sites possibility to detect toxin (domoic acid) Scholin et al. MBARI

33 Interesting things come our way Tagged Crab from Oregon caught near La Push

34 And sometime things block our way Boulder on Lake Crescent Road

35 So we paddle harder!
