Publicly accessible, web-based query and reporting system of historical and current fish, environmental, and hydrologic information, vital to year-round planning and adaptive management of the Central Valley Project and State Water Project. Data uploads provide the most up-to-date data as it is made available, whether it be daily, biweekly, monthly or annually.
Basic conditions, performance measures, and threshold-based alerts are available through data aggregation and analysis of environmental conditions.
Customized data visualizations, biological thresholds, and data tables of current conditions with recent and real-time data to facilitate in-season monitoring and management by Central Valley Workgroups and Monitoring Teams.
Interactive models for prediction of egg survival and fry emergence; juvenile migration and survival; delta migration, routing, and survival; and loss and salvage. Includes Shiny apps developed by SacPAS in support model exploration and implementation of 3rd party tools.
Access all queries and modeling tools available on SacPAS by topic or theme. Topics include species, salmon life stage, and groupings of environmental data. Themes include Track-a-Cohort, Shiny apps, and maps.
SacPAS is a collection of web-based products and services for Central Valley (formerly Sacramento River) Prediction and Assessment of Salmon and other fishes. Over the years, SacPAS has expanded to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the San Joaquin River Basin. More specifically, SacPAS provides query tools to access historical and real-time data on environmental conditions and fishes listed under the Endangered Species Act, as well as predicted estimates of fish responses based on historical data and models.
The mission of SacPAS, as part of Columbia Basin Research (CBR), is to provide data and analytical tools for science-based decision making and management of regulated rivers and fishes.
The data query and analytical tools on SacPAS are available publicly through the web to help provide equal access of information to action agencies, managers, practitioners, researchers, stakeholders, rightsholders, and the general public.
SacPAS is a secondary data repository and thus provides the advantage of integrated data sets and summary metrics.
Researchers at Columbia Basin Research, School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, University of Washington assess the effects of river management and environmental conditions on salmon passage and survival. For more information, see some research highlights and our publications list.
Diverse stakeholders can connect with each other through the data pertinent for adaptive management and coordination across agencies. Decision support for and effective management by stakeholders require timely data that are standardized, synthesized, integrated, and accessible. Scientists can also access river and fish data sets for downloading and use in their research. Students can attain hands-on experiences with us and contribute to SacPAS work. We can all share our knowledge and experiences with each other, starting from a common resource of SacPAS.
