2 Overview Short-tailed Albatross W. Coast groundfish fisheries interactions Survey Updates Hypoxia 2011 Conservation Engineering Observer Updates IEA Update 2

3 Estimating risk to short-tailed albatross from West Coast groundfish fisheries Purpose of analysis is to inform a biological assessment prepared by NMFS for FWS Tight timeline due in part to STAL mortality last April Excerpt from larger report on all ESA-listed species, available for review in November

4 Short-tailed albatross Listed as endangered <4000 individuals Extremely limited breeding habitat Fisheries identified as a threat in recovery plan, but not limiting at this time 16 known fishery mortalities since known mortality in WCGFF Satellite track lines for adults, sub-adults and juveniles captured at sea near Seguam Pass, Alaska (from USFWS 2008).

5 Risk assessment based on similarities between STAL and (much) more common black-footed albatross

6 Estimated STAL take and effect on the species WCGF takes ~0.8 STAL/year Assuming mortality rate = BFAL STAL population is increasing ~6.5%/year (>200 birds/year) Current level of take not substantially impacting recovery Negligible impacts on other listed bird spp. Deterrence measures would reduce take further

13 IFQ Data Stream Weekly transmission of observer data to vessel account system What holds data up? Data entry by observer Sampling Issues: Pacific halibut mortality calculation For data held up due to sampling issues, resolution generally within 1 to 2 weeks.

14 CA CURRENT LME IEA UPDATE 14

15 Policy Question What does a healthy ecosystem look like? What is the health of the ecosystem? What action should be considered? Where should we start? IEA Step Objectives, indicators / targets Current status, risk assessment Generate alternative management options Management strategy evaluation 15

16 The California Current Integrated Ecosystem Assessment Provides critical ecosystem information for fisheries management What is the state of the ocean? What is the status of the forage base? What is the status of predators? How are non-fisheries pressures affecting target stocks?

17 Abiotic/Chl-a Zooplankton Freshwater v Production Estuary Salmon Nests, Parr, Juvenile condition Juvenile condition Marine Production, Distribution Smolt survival, condition Adult growth and maturation

18 Status of Sacramento River Fall-Run Chinook Salmon Ocean/Climate conditions Freshwater habitat Forage base Predation pressure Fishing pressure Adult abundance Hatchery contribution Population growth rate

19 Food Webs for Focal Species Focal spp Predator Prey Both predator and prey

20 Non-fisheries threats to focal species in the California Current Using a risk assessment framework (Samhouri & Levin in review) Calculate relative risk of a species to a specific threat Exposure axis measures spatial and/or temporal overlap of species with a threat. Sensitivity axis measures the species ability to resist and recover from exposure to a specific threat The combination of these axes provides a relative risk score.
