Description    


We completed post-project monitoring and utilized data collection methods appropriate for each habitat restoration project. Five of the seven proposed projects were monitored: the USFS road de-commissioning project and the Lesmeister Channel Restoration projects were excluded. Lesmeister restoration never occurred and the road monitoring was transferred to the Tribe’s TFW biologist to complete using different funds. The following list outlines which projects were monitored and methods used.

1. Steelhead Haven Landslide Remediation Project: turbidity measurements with turbidimeters, snorkel surveys for adult salmonid presence, and residual pool depths
2. Pilchuck Creek Log Jams: Habitat Surveys using modified Timber Fish and Wildlife protocol
3. Pilchuck Wetland Restoration: Smolt/fry presence monitoring using beach seine
4. Blue Slough Channel Re-connect: Smolt/fry presence monitoring using fyke net
5. North Fork Log Jams: Adult salmonid population monitoring using snorkel surveys, residual pool depths

Project Benefit    


Often, habitat restoration funding does not provide for monitoring the longterm success of a project. This can potentially lead to duplicating methods, techniques, or strategies that ultimately fail. Where post-project monitoring is not provided for we will monitor recently completed salmon habitat restoration projects within the Stillaguamish watershed either directly or in a supporting capacity. In addition we will continue to develop a GIS layer depicting a spatial representation of historic, current and future habitat degradation and restoration activities.
