The Salmon Data Discovery Tool (SDDT) is a joint effort of NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. This web-based data repository fills a need to publicly house salmon relevant data currently held by various organizations, co-managers, and research scientists. The data discovery tool provides a single location to store data across various ecosystems (freshwater, estuary/nearshore, off-shore ocean) and data types (documents, data files, derived data products, spatial data, and GitHub links). SDDT accepts both salmon run specific information (population abundance estimates, productivity trends, age data) and data related to environmental drivers (e.g., marine heat waves, abundance and survival rates of predator and prey species, freshwater habitat quality and quantity). SDDT serves as an information clearinghouse for a broad user community, ranging from casual data exploration and browsing, to comprehensive data downloading.
