Interrogation Site Metadata

PD8 - Columbia River Estuary rkm 82

Status: Active - Operational

Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System | Organization: NOAA Fisheries

General Operational Period: Seasonally
Start Date: 3/29/2023 12:00 AM

In-river detection system located at river km 72 (USCG Navigation Marker 59) in the Columbia River Estuary. The array (PD8) consists of up to five 8ft x 20ft antennas operated by NOAA Fisheries, targeting detections of migrating juvenile and adult salmonids. The array (PD8) was originally installed upstream near rkm 82 in 2023, then was moved downstream to its current location on 4/22/2024. The site includes a Biomark IS1001-MC transceiver with an individual IS1001 reader assigned to each antenna. A solar panel affixed to an electronics tower supplies charging power for a battery bank of four 12v marine batteries. Remote communication (via cellular modem), and other components are contained within steel boxes mounted to the tower. Antenna groups are based on orientation relative to the pile dike, with numbering starting from shore. We intend to operate this site annually from March through September.
