The study reported herein was conducted by researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District (Corps). The purpose of the project is to develop a geospatial, web-accessible database (called Oncor) for action effectiveness and related data from monitoring and research efforts for the Columbia Estuary Ecosystem Restoration Program (CEERP). The intent is for the Oncor database to enable synthesis and evaluation, the results of which can then be applied in subsequent CEERP decision-making. This is the first annual report in what is expected to be a 3- to 4-year project, which commenced on February 14, 2012. This report covers project activities conducted from February 2012 through February 2013. The specific objectives and tasks for the 2012 study year were as enumerated here. 1) Coordination - Coordinate with CEERP funding agencies and regional stakeholders to finalize key analysis questions and database needs for research, monitoring, and evaluation (RME) and ecosystem restoration in the lower Columbia River and estuary (LCRE) within CEERP’s adaptive management framework. 2) Database Development - Develop and demonstrate a web-based proof-of-concept geospatial database management system and analysis system for CEERP. 3) Analysis and Synthesis - Draft the CEERP 2012 Strategy Report, 2012 Action Plan, and 2013 Synthesis and Evaluation Memorandum, and provide other analytical and programmatic support. Work products for Objective 3 were reported separately.
