Description

This grant involved the continued implementation of the Coastal Monitoring Plan (CMP) in the Russian River watershed. The worl included finalization of the Russian River sample frame, life cycle monitoting in Dry Creek for Coho Salmon and steelhead trout, and basin-wide monitoring using a spatially balanced sampling approach (GRTS) in selected reaches to develop basinwide estimates of Coho ans steelhead redds.

Project Benefit

Identify the status and trends of anadromous coho, steelhead, and Chinook populations in the Russian River Watershed to improve understanding of population drivers affecting coastal salmonid populations in California.
