**Organizational Summary**

The Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF), founded in 1987, is a federally incorporated non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the conservation and restoration of wild Pacific salmon and their natural habitats in British Columbia and the Yukon. Operating independently from government, PSF facilitates dialogue and undertakes positive initiatives in support of Pacific salmon amongst all levels of government including First Nations, as well as industry, communities, individual volunteers and all fishing interests.

- Incorporate quality-controlled data into a unified, query-able tagging and detection database and document and maintain this database.

- Develop workflows to process tagging data, detection data, and genetic stock identification data to generate detection histories for individual tags for different species, stocks, years, and systems.
- Develop workflows to integrate additional variables with a potential bearing on survival (e.g., size, condition, abiotic conditions at tagging, tagging date, etc. with detection histories for survival modelling).
- Develop workflows to process PIT tag detection infrastructure performance data to identify periods of impaired antenna operation to qualify detection data and inform detection efficiency estimates.
- Develop and manage a publicly accessible “orphan tag database” to facilitate exchange of detection and tagging details for tags applied by one agency but detected by another across Salish Sea watersheds.
- Participate in field data collections across data streams to obtain comprehensive understanding of project objectives and methods and potential data issues.
- Respond to data requests from project partners (e.g., DFO) and other external groups.
- Develop written products including contributions and data summaries for quarterly and annual reporting, project standard operating procedures, and methodological components of project final reports and publications.
