Draft Agenda—Titles subject to change

Tuesday, December 7

  Presentation supplementation
8:30 am Introductions and welcome
9:00-9:45

Identifying populations of Pacific salmonidsMary Ruckelshaus and Mike Ford, NWFSC
(30 minutes for talk, 15 minutes for discussion)

Population structure in salmonids
(Three 30 minute talks, then 40 minutes for discussion)

9:45-10:15 Population structure considerations in assessing viability of salmonidsChris Ray, University of Nevada at Reno
10:15-10:45

Can simplistic, spatially explicit models be useful for evaluating the demographic and genetic structure of salmonid populations?Chris Jordan, NWFSC

10:45-11:15

Effects of spatial structure and connectivity on coho salmon population dynamics. Peter Lawson, NWFSC, Newport Lab

11:15-noon discussion of population structure issues
noon-1:30

LUNCH

Establishing species/ESU-level viability goals
(30 minutes for each talk, then 15 minutes for discussion)

1:30-2:15 Spatial and habitat criteria for salmon recovery planning: hedging bets on the craps table of extinctionChris Frissell, University of Montana, Flathead Lake Biological Station.
2:15-3:00 Using information about the frequency and spatial extent of catastrophes to help establish ESU viability goalsPaul McElhany, NWFSC
3:00-3:45 Integrating population biology, landscape patterns, and viability analyses into habitat conservation planning for the Florida Scrub-JayReed Bowman, Archbold Biological Station.
3:45-4:15 General discussion, introduction to breakout group topics for Wednesday.

Wednesday, December 8

8:30-9:15

Distinct population segments and recovery criteria for spectacled eider and
Steller's eider, two ESA-listed species
Paul Wade, National Marine Mammal Laboratory (30 minutes for talk, 15 minutes for discussion)

Potential topics for breakout groups (4-6 total groups on the second day: 2-3 in the morning slot, 2-3 in the afternoon). Additions to or refinement of topics will be developed during the first day of discussion.

9:30-11:30

Morning breakout groups-topics including:

  1. Approaches to identifying populations/li>
  2. Population structure in salmonids
11:30-12:00 Reports and group discussion of breakout group conclusions
12:00-1:30 LUNCH
1:30-3:30

Afternoon breakout groups-topics including:

  1. Approaches for determining how many and which populations are needed for viability/recovery of an ESU./li>
  2. Meaning/interpretation of "significant portion" of a species' range in the ESA./li>
3:45-4:30 Reports and group discussion of breakout group conclusions.
